Workshop description
A blended course is one that includes the purposeful integration of online and in-person components in a single course. Hence, the role of a TA in blended courses involves both online and in-person tasks. In this session, you'll learn about what blended learning is and the role of a TA in blended courses. You'll also have the opportunity to design and give and receive peer feedback on a blended learning activity.
Time Commitment
Approximately 3 hours.
