Impact on faculty
 Professional Development – Redesign of Course
Rethink HOW to deliver content - focus on HOW instead of
only WHAT (e.g. Tony Bates)
 Workflow – work is done upfront
-Marco Felvus: “the biggest challenge with blended learning
is finding the time to prepare it, as the development involves
a very detailed analysis of the learning objectives, what is best
done in the face-to-face classroom, and how to both educate
and entertain online to ensure student motivation and
attention.”
