Pathfinder: Blended Learning


Pathfinder: EdTech, Instructional Design and Blended Learning
The BA Library received a request from the MYP Coordinator  on Blended Learning. We came up with a Pathfinder focusing on the topic and related subjects and disciplines.

The provision of curated content and the selection of sources for your class, learning resource packs, professional readings, personal growth and development are services that the BA Library facilitates. You can send your request for assistance via email (teacherlibrarian@beaconacademy.ph) or Workchat. I can also facilitate a one-on-one session for you or for your class if needed. Content curation involves skills in locating, accessing, organizing and documenting sources. It may come in handy when working on long essays and research projects.

BONUS information: EBSCOHost and World Book Online both have curation apps embedded in their portals and e-learning platforms.

Key words: blended learning, online learning, instructional design, educational technology, internet teaching
