In this workshop series, participants will examine two key strategies for blended and personalized learning: playlists and pathways. Whether you are new to blended learning or have been implementing blended learning for a while, this series will provide strategies and reflective opportunities for designing and facilitating personalized learning experiences through a blended learning approach. Join Dr. Jayme Linton as she models blended learning strategies so that participants can experience blended and personalized learning for themselves. Throughout this workshop series, participants will also develop a plan for designing blended learning playlists and pathways. 

NOTE: While we recommend that you attend all sessions of the workshop series to meet the learning objectives, each workshop can be attended as a standalone. Full members will also have access to view the recordings on demand and earn up to three continuing education credits.
