Blended Learning Course

I recently began a course on Futurelearn, “Blended Learning Essentials: Getting Started”. I studied some blended learning strategies, however, as my teaching is now solely online, I thought that I should use a refresher. I am not very confident using new technology, and am keen to improve my skill set. So far the course is interesting and there are a lot of useful downloads, as I often find with Futurelearn courses. I am glad that it is a free course, and there is even a second course which I will most likely complete if I have time. I notice that when I take online courses I often skim read a lot of the content, so I am really taking my time to absorb the information. I find that if I am interested in the subject this is a lot easier. Some courses I have taken and then abandoned purely because the content is not interesting or most often that the content is very straightforward and doesn’t really teach me anything. I do recommend this course to anyone teaching online or face-to-face. Please leave me a comment if you have any experience with studying Futurelearn courses.
