Daer Ms. Noraini Nasirun,

I am writing to inform you that I have one interesting movie for you.

I am attaching a movie that give to you new opportunity for Blended learning.

I hope I have been of some help.

Hi Noraini!

To blend traditional classroom learning and online learning. This is my research area, and I just defended my thesis on it. First, I argue that learning is the same, we are talking about instrumentation (technology) , access to education, cost of education, organisation of teaching, quality of teaching and scaffolding of learning, not learning itself from a student perspective. For me, the question of "blending" must be redefined in a longer perspective: how are ICTs integrated into the normality of education? 

Anyway, I think we should not concentrate on the technical -  non-technical (e-learning), the here-there (distance learning), or the working in or between two worlds (online learning), traversing them by login and logout procedures.

think instead of the teaching and learning processes as a process in time, and how old and new ICTs together in a good design can make education more inclusive. Three publications recommended

This is not research, but you seemed to be looking for practical classroom ideas.  

I like using textbooks that come with on-line access that can be monitored by teachers.  I have found that the most flexible on-line workbook is MyElt by Cengage Learning.  I like their textbooks because they are beautiful and grab students' interest with photography from National Geographic.  The content is interesting and often based on real people or places.  

Several Cengage Learning titles come with an on-line workbook called MyElt.  My students like the program because of the interesting material and the mobility they have with doing much of their homework on their phones.  

With this program, I can assign individual activities or whole units and also have students record short speeches and write comments on their speaking.  This is very useful for large groups because it allows students to get more speaking practice while not wasting class time having everyone listen to speeches that may not be very good and are often difficult to understand.  I have my students do preliminary practice on-line, give them feedback, then have them present to the class.  Students get more practice and the class gets to hear better speeches.  (I use the pronunciation activities of MyElt for this since there is no section for speeches.  I just tell students to answer my question or speak about a given topic instead of pronouncing the words that are listed in the activity.  Recording must be done on a computer since current technology does not allow it to be done with phones, but I think that will change in the near future.)  

Other publishers have on-line workbooks as well, so if you are using a text that has on-line material, the best way to get started is to try what you have.  Many teachers don't bother to try using the on-line materials that come with their texts and they miss a lot of great resources for their students.

 Ms. Nasurin,

If I can help I would be happy to. I have taken blended courses in my undergrad where the class size was very small about 7-10 students. However I have also taken blended courses in my undergrad that had similar sizes but grouped 6-7 classes into one class for shared and collaborative work. Finally, my Master's and my Doctorate have been all online with my Doctorate requiring Residencies about once every third term.

I am doing relevant research on this topic: my reflection is that the best way to blend them is through discourse, which means that what students discussed in the classroom, can be subject for further discussion in online environment.

Sorry, this was not the focus or part of the course work. Our online participation was mostly in turning in writing assignments and our in class participation was based on the review of our collaborative efforts in reading our colleagues papers. These colleagues were not just from the class, but members of other sections of the class within the same course.

I use video clips, Kahoot and padlet for large classes.

I use project work that mixes design work on the computer(research and using Sketch Up) with practical work(making models).

I think it depends on what you define as 'online'. You can integrate electronic tools into classroom teaching (Padlet; Poll Everywhere; electronic voting; Go Animate; etc) and/or you can provide synchronous/asynchronous learning opportunities that are not reliant on physical proximity (ie a classroom). Examples of the latter are discussion groups and forums in online learning rooms, webinars (live and recorded), and use of social media (Twitter hashtags, even Instagram if learning involves visual examples). The possibilities are endless thanks to technology but as ever it's choosing the right tools and environment for the right learners.

I've found Kahoot extremely valuable for reinforcing critical lesson points & testing understanding.

I currently use MOODLE as an alternative teaching and learning tool in Biology. Having a big class really needs some adjustments as regards ways on how to deliver a lesson using blended learning. Through MOODLE, I am able to facilitate my class better.  On the other hand, there are some challenges to overcome such as network connection, teacher and student presence, time management, etc. Nonetheless, I find the use of MOODLE as effective and efficient.

I would use Just on Time Teaching (JiTT) and Peer Instruction (PI - Eric Mazur - Harvard)

This seems a good topic that need a bit more thinking. I believe it is good to plan for two approaches, for example, contents,  time, and activities  for each should be planned in advance. Activities such as double-entry journal, discussion boards, supplemental instruction etc can be implemented online. The traditional classrooms can benefit from this, as students understanding is enhanced.   

Here is an article I wrote recently on this topic.

First you need to choose instructional methods and tasks that will allow students to achieve the outcome goals of the course.  THEN decide if technology can be used to perform those tasks.

It is a mistake to choose the technology first and then try to figure out what to do with it.

 Dear Anders Norberg 

Thank you sir for your valuable feedback. I agree with you. Only that, the blended learning must be flexible enough and it really challenge the novice instructor like. Thank you also for your reading recommendation.

Noraini 

Dear Michele Joy Joel,

Thank you for your feedback. I will look into it too.

Dear Richard Hayward,

That really great sir. I hope you can keep updating your progress. Thank you.

Dear Feng Lin,

For me this area of study really interesting. I do agree with you. I am doing reflection for my online activities too. Thank you for stopping by and give some feedback.

Dear Richard Hayward 

New generation prefer online activities as compared to traditional activities (depending on the type of activities of course). Many thanks for your feedback.

Dear Nigel Hudson 

I agree with you. The right type of technologies use are important because I believe there is no blended class that is similar to another. It require adjustment based on the students, subjects and technologies available at a particular time. Thank you sir for your feedback.

Noraini

Dear Ismail Mohamed

I agree with you. Advance planning is very important. Not to mention that all activities must be aligned with the institution's requirement for the subject. Many thanks.

Noraini

Dear Per Arne Godejord

Thank you for your feedback. I found it challenging to 'reach the hearts and minds' of students, especially when it comes non face-to-face interactions. How do you address this issue?

Regards

Noraini

Dear Per Arne Godejord,

Ya. I do agree with you. Seemingly I need to always keep myself update on the technologies available at a particular time and what are the technology  'trends' among students. And the good news is, blend is not only about the platforms provided by the institutions, but many of social software that can be utilized to achieve the optimal blend.

Thank you again sir for dropping by and sharing your experience.

Dear Noraini,

What is your mission/aim in integrating technology into the class/ course?  This is very important to know as this will impact the level of investment.

Do you already integrate technology into the classroom?  

Do you use MOODLE or any other online platform?

You can integrate blog to your lesson. If you want you can look at one of my article which is on my profile that express effect of weblog on writing performance which was published in the journal of educational technology and society

You can put online lecture using technology and let students to read it then you can discuss it  in the classroom. this will decrease some of face to face lectures.
