Innovative Teaching Methods for Powerful Learning: Blended Learning & Flipped Classroom 

AntiBullying

Description: Over the past years educators have started increasingly incorporating innovative teaching & learning methods in their classrooms, one of them is the blended learning approach. Blended learning seeks to use the potential of new technology to offer more individualized teaching and direct instruction. It combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. Blended learning is one of the main global trends shaping education environments and it has become increasingly important in education systems, especially higher education.

The course aims to introduce participants to 6 clusters of innovative pedagogies putting emphasis on Blended Learning. During the course, participants will learn about various forms of blended learning including Flipped Classroom and how to apply them in practice. Participants will also discuss the challenges of implementing blended learning and how to overcome them.
