In this episode of the Beyond the Classroom Podcast, I explore how blended and online learning can be more than just a delivery method. They can be opportunities to build meaningful connection, increase accessibility, and support student agency. Drawing from class discussions, the presentation by Alan Levine, and my own research and experimentation, and strategies…

As I wrap up the development of my online, asynchronous Science 9 unit, I want to take a moment to reflect on the process, the feedback I received, and the final version of my course. This prototype has evolved over the semester based on class discussions, research, experimentation, and feedback from my peers. I’m excited…

Over the last couple of months of learning and receiving feedback, I have altered a few components of my original course prototype. My revamped version includes more details on accessibility and justification of technology and activity choices. I hope you enjoy it! Let me know if you have any further feedback for me!   Course…

Creating an engaging and accessible online course is an evolving process. It was really helpful to get feedback, both generally during class and more specifically from my two reviewers. This feedback plays a crucial role in refining both content and structure. After reflecting on the feedback I received, I am making several intentional changes to…

For those who haven’t had a chance to check out my course prototype, it’s an asynchronous online Science 9 Chemistry unit designed for students who need to be away from the face-to-face classroom for extended periods. In my experience, this typically applies to just one student at a time, usually travelling to their home country…

Course Profile: Atoms and Molecules Quick Links ADDIE template Google Classroom Target Audience and Rationale This course is designed for students who are enrolled in a semester-long, face-to-face Science 9, but will be absent for an extended period due to travel. This often occurs when a student is travelling to their home country to visit…

This week, I explored the idea of online learning as a continuum. An educator’s position on this continuum depends on their students’ needs, personal teaching preferences, and available resources. This perspective comes from Teaching in a Digital Age (Chapter 10). A specific example that blends online and face-to-face learning is Brian Beatty’s HyFlex model. What…
