About the BlendKit Course

The BlendKit Course is a set of subject matter neutral, open educational resources related to blended learning and available for self-study or for group use. Periodically, these materials will also be used as the basis for a facilitated open, online course. Get on the mailing list to stay informed about BlendKit developments, including information on the next facilitated cohort.

The BlendKit Reader has been compiled as a scholarly complement to the hands-on development tasks involved in building a blended learning course. While individuals may certainly find value in engaging with these readings as a solitary exercise, the readings are perhaps best suited for use as a basis for discussion with interested colleagues. A reading schedule, reflection/discussion questions, and an associated set of learning activities are provided to facilitate effective use of the reader. Multiple versions of the BlendKit Reader are provided below in anticipation of differing preferences for online or offline reading.
