Each module contains three lessons. Checklists for each lesson help participants navigate their assignments. There are multiple opportunities for collaboration as well as mastery checks to assess learning.
Module 1 — Integrating HQIM and Adaptive Learning Software (Playlist Model, 10 hours)
Research and define high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) and adaptive learning and identify which of these are currently being used in your school or district.
Through the use of a playlist, practice integrating HQIM and/or adaptive software programs into a blended learning model.
Capture video evidence of HQIM and adaptive software programs embedded in blended learning models and share with online peers for feedback.
