BlendKit 2014: An EDUCAUSE and UCF Partnership (free!)

EDUCAUSE is excited to announce a five-week open course on blended learning, in partnership with the University of Central Florida. On April 21 we will launch the BlendKit 2014: Becoming a Blended Learning Designer MOOC. Drs. Kelvin Thompson and Linda Futch (UCF Center for Distributed Learning) will provide facilitated assistance to faculty members and instructional designers in developing and designing blended courses. Participants will consider key issues related to blended learning and gain practical step-by-step guidance in producing materials for a blended course. Although the MOOC is offered at no cost, participants may choose to earn the portfolio-review-based UCF/EDUCAUSE Certified Blended Learning Designer credential and digital badge for a fee ($89). We hope you’ll take advantage of this valuable learning opportunity. Enroll now; the course starts on April 21! Starts April 21
