The document summarizes a conference on blended learning. It provides an agenda that includes introductions, an overview of why blended learning is important, and a session on the Blended Learning Mastery Series. The Mastery Series is a three-part workshop that teaches participants how to design effective blended learning environments through exploring research, developing course plans, assessing techniques, and teaching methods. Between workshops, participants apply concepts from the research and design phase to their own courses. The program aims to facilitate peer learning and build professional networks around blended learning strategies and design.

21. Feedback & Testimonials
It was amazing. Quite
intense at times, but I
learned so many useful
things that I can
incorporate into my
instruction!
Jenn Light is an AMAZING
teacher. I learned so much
from her. Please continue to
use her as a teacher in your
program.
I do appreciate the
obvious time the
instructor put into giving
course feedback. It was
evident she put a great
deal of thought into her
comments and
suggestions.
The Blended Mastery Series
was truly an eye-opener.
The ability to interact with
instructors and designers
from all over the country
(even world) made it a very
enjoyable and mature
experience.
