U Central Florida Debuts Blended Learning MOOC for Educators

By Joshua Bolkan, THE Journal

The University of Central Florida (UCF) has partnered with two organizations to reboot a massive open online course (MOOC) for teachers focused on blended learning in higher ed and K-12. The university has partnered with Educause, a nonprofit focused on technology in higher education, and ed tech company Instructure to launch “BlendKit2015: Becoming a Blended Learning Designer.” The course is intended to build on the success of BlendKit2014, a similar MOOC released last year that also covered blending learning and was Educause’s first. “The power of online professional development is that we can collaborate and educate in real-time,” said Julie Little, Educause vice president of teaching, learning and professional development, in a prepared statement. “BlendKit2015 leverages that power to advance strategic understanding of blended learning’s full potential.”
