Toward a Blended Learning Large Lecture: Doing More with Less (Space)

KEYWORDS: Blended learning, methodology, student-centered

To meet the conflicting demands of mushrooming enrollments, shrinking resources, and the need to engage digital natives, we are evolving a blended learning approach for our OB survey class. The format extends the flipped classroom model, which combines an online course presentation with a subsequent class session, by integrating self-customizable aspects of online learning with large lecture sessions. Participants will review and discuss the model being phased in here: its individual processes taught mainly through lectures and self-assessments, small group processes largely online with face-to-face and experiential exercises, and organization-wide aspects taught via the two modalities in roughly equal proportions.
