Blended learning vs traditional

In essence, blended learning combines the best of both learning environments, in-person and online learning.

A key element of blended learning is that in addition to the in-person experience, it also uses digital tools to support and enhance your learning experience in and outside of the classroom.

We will be using CANVAS, a learning management system that allows you to access course information and resources. In CANVAS you will be able to find and submit assignments, share course documents, and stay connected with me and with your classmates.

Communication & collaboration: Communication will include messages, email, and CANVAS discussions. On approved and flex-days, learning will be online using Zoom for video calls. Do your best to check announcements, your messages and email daily and respond within 24 hours during the week.
