I have been researching, writing and creating projects about blended learning for the entirety of my graduate school experience, and I have finally been tasked with creating a blended learning course for my classroom. It was a daunting task to know that all instructions and resources needed to be clear and easy to navigate because students would be working at their own pace for a majority of the unit. 

​

The design process started with Fink's 3 Column table that outlines the learning goals, activities and assessments for the course. This is the guiding document throughout the planning and implementation phase as it helps focus every lesson and activity on the established learning goals. The second part of the design process was to create the modules with all the necessary resources and instructions. Finally, I created a usability test for some of my stakeholders to gain critical feedback on the course design. This provided invaluable information to improving the course before sharing it with all of my students.
