This year there is already 1592 students enrolled for the module. That means it is really impossible to have person contact with the students. I therefore developed the module in a blended learning format. That means I am trying to blend various learning methods into the module. That include the following:
- Have a mass orientation session to run through the processes
o (I tried one ear to divide the group in smaller groups and had to repeat the lecture 22 x a week)
- Using the learning management system – for assignments/ FAQ / announcements
- Project proposal session 1tot 1 in my office
- Making use of a App for new info
- Using twitter for short announcements
- And as part of the module – of course the students have to work in the communities
- Using a report in the form of a blog on the Universities website
- Presentation to me with a PowerPoint
- E-mail communication (±150 e-mails a day)
- SMS communication
This blended learning module has the advantage that I can stay in touch with the students – but it still is very exhausting and time consuming.
