Blended Learning Essentials

Since its inception in 2015, the Language Flagship Technology Innovation Center at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa has engaged in activities that promote the implementation of blended learning. A key element to support this enterprise is for instructors to have access to professional learning resources that specifically focus on world language teaching and learning. The Blended Learning Essentials series is a collection of lessons meant as a primer for world language instructors interested in this topic. This series was designed by Tech Center faculty in collaboration with World Language professionals who have national recognition and who are experienced in the design or implementation of blended learning in the context of World Language education.
