The purpose of this CALL-IS Academic Session is to share blended learning components the panelists feel may create or promote effective tech-supported teaching/learning spaces. The panelists showcase suggestions related to blended or hybrid lesson planning, methodologies, strategies, and activities, online content material, including open education resources (OER), tools and resources, and assessment.(50)
Description of session:
Blended learning and teaching spaces are designed from constructivism and studies report that such spaces may encourage individual or group language learning opportunities, flexible yet responsible education, tech-supported or tech-based learning support. The CALL-IS Academic Session provides educators with a theoretical-practical perspective on current technology partnered education. Whether the panelists address blended learning as a ‘theory’ of connectivity or as a space for models and strategies to be implemented, the purpose is to share components the panelists feel may create or promote effective tech-supported teaching/learning spaces. The panelists showcase suggestions related to blended or hybrid lesson planning, methodologies, strategies, and activities, online content material, including open education resources (OER), tools and resources, and assessment. Specifically, after providing definitions of blended or hybrid learning, lesson plans to make learning spaces active are discussed to share content possibilities; to show methodologies and activities that work, and to exemplify tools that create content or learning spaces that engage the students in the process. Possibilities for online or face-to-face assessments are demonstrated to evaluate language ability and content mastery. Implications and recommendations are made in group discussion format with the audience.
