Most importantly, the focus of blended e-learning is not the technologies, but the way the technologies are integrated - blended - into an effectively designed learner-focused experience.\n
TESSA\n\nBlended e-learning can range from informal to formalised learning, and across the range of the sectors including early years, school, tertiary and workplace learning. Regardless of contexts, the key characteristics or dimensions of blended e-learning can be defined as offering ubiquitous learning opportunities for increased agency and connected interaction:\n&#x25CF; across different spaces, from physical to virtual;\n&#x25CF; with and across time constraints, from synchronous, real-time to asynchronous, time-lagged learning;\n&#x25CF; across a rich range of media, from rich multi-media to text-only modes;\n

When will you integrate tech into face-to-face to:\n\nInvestigation: As well as Face-to-Face visits...How can we meet individual needs (Inquiry - literacy, M&#x101;ori, boys, science) of schools locally/regionally while meeting collective needs or trends nationally ONLINE? EG common areas of interest/concern in eLPF.\nInquiry: How can we work in ways that connects schools to other resources and each other, so that we can broker independent networks of support?\nInquiry: How we set up sustainability in a wider e-learning community?\n\nCan we as a group, collaboratively brainstorm and co-construct specific online goals (3) that can address one or more of the above within specific timelines and do this in Google doc in real time (strategy split into groups inside Blackboard Collaborate)? \n\nA goal may be indicative of:\ndifferentiated school needs (Inquiry focus)\nonline action plan\nprinciples of UDL\nculturally responsive practice\n\nwith possible reference to specific online tools/strategies (VLN, social networking, webinars)\n\nEG&#x2026;.I will focus on XXXXX (online goal) once a week\nEG&#x2026;.I will focus on XXXXXXX (online goal) once a month\nEG I aim to XXXXXX within the next six months\n\nGoals for online team to help..\nEG&#x2026;.My online facilitator/buddy can help me with XXXXX &#x2026;...\n
