Blended Learning

Blended Learning is een mengvorm van face-to-face en online leeractiviteiten. Een goede ‘blend’ is er een waarin deze leeractiviteiten elkaar wederzijds versterken en er didactisch onderbouwde keuzes gemaakt zijn in het on- of offline en synchroon of asynchroon faciliteren van leeractiviteiten. Dit alles om de kwaliteit van het onderwijs te optimaliseren! Wil je meer weten, meepraten of kennisdelen? Kijk dan verder en volg de SIG Blended Learning!
