Fttc session outline_final
This document discusses integrating an online learning experience into a student success course called Smart Start to help students determine if online learning is a good fit for them before taking an online course. It includes three key components: 1) a course navigation tutorial, 2) a Blackboard orientation, and 3) an online learning week. The purpose is to help students develop the technical skills and decide if the online format works for their learning needs. Student and instructor feedback found that while some students decided online classes were a good fit, others realized they were not suited for the online environment. Overall, the experience helped prepare students who did take online classes later on.

Flipped Classroom and blended learning, pros, cons, similarities and differences
The document discusses flipped classrooms and blended learning. A flipped classroom reverses traditional teaching by delivering instructional content online outside of class and using class time for hands-on work and projects. Blended learning combines online and in-person learning, such as students attending a traditional classroom and also completing online coursework. Both approaches integrate technology into teaching. While both use online and in-person elements, blended learning uses them together, whereas flipped learning separates the online instruction and in-class application of knowledge. The document also outlines pros and cons of each approach.
