As part of a continuing journey to improve my hybrid teaching, I paid a visit to London to attend (and present at) the Research in Distance Education (RIDE) conference. I was particularly interested in team working, peer learning and community, so my notes reflect that.

From here to there… reflections on a semester of the #bathblend
Along with the rest of the UK educational community, I have ensured that my courses @UniOfBath are Covid-ready. This means designing them according to the Bath Blend which includes independent (self paced) learning, Live Online Interactive Learning (LOIL) and In Person Time (IPT). In this blog I reflect on what has worked well (and less well) and what I would like to keep in the ‘new normal’. In short, my thoughts on how to design the blended experience in a social and inclusive way, while sharing best practice. I hope this might be of use to other educators and I’d be keen to hear about your experiences too (leave a comment or pingback to your own blog).

My reflections cover; using the technology, team teaching, facilitating the session – and my key learning it takes longer than you think!
