The Online Learning Consortium (OLC) announced earlier this week, the publication of the 2022 Blended Learning Symposium Report. The purpose of the report is to capture the key themes and insights from the 2022 OLC Blended Learning events and to function as a sort of “living memory” of the conversations shared. It is the hope of the authors that it inspires new conversations about the future of blended learning.
This free report includes a plethora of information on blended learning themes (see below) such as instructional design, equity, evaluation, assessment, faculty support, and administrative challenges written by a group of international colleagues. The timing of this report could not be better as the world hopefully exits from the scourge of COVID. Prior to the pandemic, higher education was evolving into a “blended university” model where all aspects of teaching, learning, counseling, advising, and administration were becoming dependent upon online technology. An irreversible evolution in higher education has become for better or for worse, fully enmeshed in the blended model.
Congratulations to OLC and the authors of this timely report.
