ABSTRACT
This is the second in the Routledge series on Essentials of
Online Learning. The first book, Essentials of Online Course
Design: A Standards-Based Guide, walked you through the
process of creating a purely online course. While many of the
principles in that book apply to the online portions of a
blended course, the overall approach in developing a course
that is partly online and partly onsite is quite different because
it requires:
each mode; l a design strategy that focuses on learning outcomes, not
technology; l interweaving of activities between modes to diminish
“distance” and engage students in a developing
community.
