"Teaching in Blended Leaning Environments" provides a
coherent framework in which to explore the transformative concept
of
blended learning. Blended learning can be defined as the
organic
integration of thoughtfully selected and complementary face-to-face
and
online approaches and technologies. A direct result of the
transformative innovation of virtual communication and online
learning
communities, blended learning environments have created new ways
for
teachers and students to engage, interact, and collaborate. The
authors
argue that this new learning environment necessitates significant
role
adjustments for instructors and generates a need to understand
the
aspects of teaching presence required of deep and meaningful
learning
outcomes.
Built upon the theoretical framework of the Community of
Inquiry
- the premise that higher education is both a collaborative
and
individually constructivist learning experience - the authors
present seven principles that provide a valuable set of tools
for
harnessing the opportunities for teaching and learning
available
through technology. Focusing on teaching practices related to
the
design, facilitation, direction and assessment of blended
learning
experiences, "Teaching in Blended Learning Environments"
addresses the growing demand for improved teaching in higher
education.Norman D. Vaughan is a professor in the Department
of
