Blended (Hybrid) Learning refers to a combination of Online and Lecture-based Instructional Learning. In this exercise, a Blended Learning Pilot Project was conducted. The Auditory Pathway was selected for the exercise, in view of its relative complexity. A video link was given to the students as a Pre-learning assignment. Next day in class, a series of Pre-lecture questions were asked before the start of the lecture. This was to test how much the students had learnt BEFORE the class. After the lecture, a series of Post-lecture questions were asked. Finally, after the whole exercise, students' feedback was obtained using the Clicker-based Audience Response System (ARS). The feedback was eye-opening indeed! Learning Outcomes After watching this Slideshow, the viewer should: Know what is Blended (Hybrid) Learning Be able to conduct a Blended Learning exercise of their own Know something about the Auditory Pathway itself (though this is not a primary objective of this exercise) Know how an Audience Response System works (at least partly!) Have an idea as to how the students’ mind functions

2. Blended Learning – What is it?
•This is a mandatory Blended (Hybrid)
Learning exercise.
•Blended (Hybrid) Learning refers to a
combination of Online and Lecture-based
Instructional Learning.
•For the first exercise, the Auditory Pathway
has been chosen, in view of its relative
complexity.

3. Blended Learning – Learning

projections along the Auditory
Pathway

6. Blended Learning – Pre-work
Questions
Answer the following questions
A. What are all the components of the
Auditory Pathway, in their correct
sequence?
B. What is the Laterality of projection from
one component to the next along the
pathway?
(Keep the answers with you. You will need
them)

7. Blended Learning – Pre-lecture
Questions
•On Monday 17 February 2014, before the
start of the lecture on Auditory Pathway, a
few Pre-lecture questions will be asked.
•Respondents will have to answer with their
ARS Clickers. (Please have your Clickers
ready)

8. Blended Learning – Pre-lecture
Questions
• In the next three slides, the students’ response
to three Pre-lecture questions were recorded
using the Audience Response System
• This was done to determine how useful was
the Pre-lecture assignment and exercise
