Your context:
Is BL possible or not:
Rationale for this:

]]> 2021-09-29 12:58:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777906925 It gives additional ownership of the learning. It adds another dimension to what the student is able to achieve. However, we have to be very careful how and when it is introduced. https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777982892 2021-09-29 13:18:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777982892 PLC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777983322 Yes it is possible - but a lot of planning would need to take place and a holistic approach - maybe for Sept 2022

Why - students are requesting that we offer a blended approach - would increase flexibility and access]]> 2021-09-29 13:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777983322 In a YR context the majority of blended learning is in centre learning, in regard to self directed / online blended learning, this may work at Level 4 but students at lower levels would struggle. https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777984490 2021-09-29 13:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777984490 I would like to think BL would be possible on a limited and controlled basis after an initial period in the programme. https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777984569 2021-09-29 13:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777984569 https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777985668 Depending on the level of the course I feel that BL could be an option. Students who are continuing with us from last year have shown that they are flexible and have adapted to emergency remote learning so if the programme was designed properly (being “slick”) then I feel it could be well received.]]> 2021-09-29 13:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777985668 https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777985685 As a senior manager I think it is possible within certain programme development contexts.
The rationale is that we have to adapt as an institution to the changing needs of our cohort of learners. Providing flexible learning programmes that allow for learners personal and social circumstances will remove barriers for participation]]> 2021-09-29 13:19:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777985685 Basic Education is my context. L1-3. https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777986130 2021-09-29 13:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777986130 QA elainerussell https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777986189 Is BL possible - possible for higher level programmes L5 or L6.  Not suitable for L1-4 as students need more support for literacy & IT at lower levels.

Rationale:-
Flexibility for students & teachers
Access - wider reach


]]> 2021-09-29 13:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777986189 RPL https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777986290 We are using a BL approach in terms of contact with our applicants, usually on a one to one basis and occasionally in groups, if required. Given, RPL applicants are considering their learned experience for validation and not learning anything new, this is different to the delivery of a taught component. ]]> 2021-09-29 13:19:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777986290 TEL - Yes Blended is definitely possible and most definitely the way of future Learning. treasamcginley https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777987700 Rationale:
More flexible for learners
-It will increase access to courses
- Many learners want and expect to be able to avail of Blended Learning
-Prepares learners for new skill in the Digital World.]]> 2021-09-29 13:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777987700 Is Blended learning possible? https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777991072 BTEI
Blended learning is possible in the BTEI programme and the part-time classes supports this mode of delivery very well.

The rationale is that:

It reduces the need for travel (students may only travel for one class and participate in another online.
using the Flipped class room works well and supports independent learning
Students like the blended approach

Is BL possible or not? Yes over time.
Rationale:
Outdoor Education has it's greatest impact during face to face and practical learning. As programme development evolves, blended learning offers the ideal compromise to ensure practical time is capitalised upon, with subsequent reflective and consolidatory learning taking place outside of face to face time]]> 2021-09-29 13:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1777992591 https://padlet.com/jhurley1/ch5chfvg7i8e1k68/wish/1778003598 Possible with appropriate supports.  how it is implemented is important.
