Introduction to Blended Courses
![Page 14: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Blended Course or Flipped Classroom
A blended course combines online elements with face-to-face interaction.
“Flipped” classrooms: the online component provides the lecture and the face-to-face time is used for discussion, analytical exercises, simulations, and other higher cognitive learning through active learning activities.
“[O]ne of the most important emerging trends in education technology for higher education . . . [that] creat[es] a more efficient and enriching use of class time.” New Media Consortium Horizon Project, www.nmc.org/horizon-project

Active Learning Activities
Socratic dialogue. Discussion. Writing. Outlining. Problem-solving. Simulations. Real-life
experiences.

and critical thinking skills). Deep understanding of concepts and
theories. Lawyering skills (interviewing,
negotiation, oral advocacy, written advocacy).
Professional values.

Reflections on Course
![Page 40: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Reflections on Course
I have waited my entire teaching career for these resources!
I am so very proud of what I created and the learning outcomes the students achieved.
![Page 41: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Elevated my teaching across all teaching forums. Law school. Webinar. CLE. CME. Faculty workshops.
Technology is a tool, not a toy.
![Page 42: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Required significant time to create the materials and master the technology. Over 160 hours.
![Page 43: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Required financial investment in the technology. Webinar
application. Professional mike or
headset. Video camera. Thinkstock
subscription for licensed use of photos in slides.
![Page 44: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Enhances options for appealing to various learning styles in the lower forms of cognitive work (gaining knowledge and comprehension). No longer limited to
outside reading assignments and in-class lecture.
Gives option to students. Read text first; then
watch webinar. Watch webinar; then
read text.
![Page 45: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Creates more time in class for the higher forms of cognitive work (application, analysis, synthesis, and problem-solving).
![Page 46: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Online simulations in Google Hangout did not lose non-verbal communication to any extent that undermined skill development. I specifically
monitored for this concern.
![Page 47: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Students can re-watch webinar and other videos during assigned week, after the Google Hangout, or any time in the future when issues come up in practice. Lecture information is
simply not available in the traditional 40-hour course after the course ends or to review during the course!
![Page 48: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Reflections on Course
No “back bench.” Higher student
engagement.
No perceived differences in skill level at end of course.
Students really liked it!
![Page 49: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Scale likely limited to 10 to 20 students. Mostly an
assessment issue.
As currently designed, course requires significant instructor time and interaction.
![Page 50: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Quality of learning experience, whether face-to-face or online, depends on: Instructor’s ability. Instructor’s
preparation and commitment to the teaching platform.
Instructor’s mastery of subject matter.
Student engagement.
![Page 51: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Possible Improvements -- Additions: Create a “student hub.” Create a Facebook
private group. Use quizzes to ensure
students have read assigned readings and/or watched webinars.
Create transcripts of webinars.
Additional state specific webinars.
![Page 52: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Possible Improvements -- Redesign: Slow pace of course to
reflect that during Module 3, students preferred one class a week with a Hangout that focuses on skill practice.
Re-record some webinars, especially those I recorded when fatigued.
Proofread slides to eliminate all typos.
Eliminate some non-essential classes to shorten course.
![Page 53: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Reflections on Course
Cannot look at course in isolation. Must consider its
limitations in comparison to the limitations of a traditional 40-hour face-to-face training course.
Must consider how much technology is being used in higher education at this point.
Must consider audience of digital natives.

longtime friend who is dealing with one of her adult daughters over paying for the daughter’s car and her school tuition. I find myself talking to her about identifying interests, and the techniques we discuss in class ;rather than saying,’ Well, just tell her….’
Thank You for all your work, effort , and knowledge.

Unsolicited Testimonials:
The format we have used is much more effective than the traditional classroom. Staying engaged is much easier because everyone is involved in the discussion at every point.
This is the first serial webinar class I’ve ever taken, and I have been surprised and encouraged how each of us is continuously engaged in the work at hand.

Unsolicited Testimonials:
I have had an interest in this training for about 5 years, primarily to help me be better prepared in church issues that can be helped by mediation, without ever finding a program that was not a crash course. Yours goes to a depth that I can feel like I am going in[to] [practice] with far more tools than the one week courses that are difficult to retain.

Unsolicited Testimonials:
Today was very helpful. You worked like a coach. The difference in the week-long courses that we have talked about and the depth and length to which you present [the material] reminds me of a quote that I have seen.
It seems that, when US President Garfield was President of a university, the father of a son tried to convince him to rush the son through the college program at a faster rate, than normal. The President said that he could, but that it depended upon whether the father wanted a giant oak tree or a squash.
It has been a lot of work, but we will be much better prepared and successful in the future than if it was a light touch.

Unsolicited Testimonials:
Thanks for your support and comments. As a compliment for all that you are exposing us to in the way of practice, I am reminded that if we were in the one week crash course, we would not be talking about more practice sessions, which will make us more capable. I continue to appreciate the "hard work". We will be better for it.

Research:
Looked at studies conducted in 2005 and 2010 of online and “blended” courses.
![Page 83: Presentation to the Members of the Tennessee Supreme Court Alternative Dispute Resolution Commission November 6, 2014 Nashville, TN](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062301/5697bfba1a28abf838ca0575/html5/thumbnails/83.jpg)
Research Findings:
Online or blended courses “produce stronger student learning outcomes than classes with solely face-to-face instruction . . . .”
“[O]nline instruction was significantly more effective than face-to-face instruction . . . . regardless of the type of learner . . . or the subject matter . . . . regardless of the type of learning involved – declarative knowledge, the ability to perform a skill, or strategic knowledge.” At 68-69.
