7. Intel® Teach Elements Designing Blended Learning
Enhance student achievement, student engagement and personalized learning.
Designing Blended Learning is an interactive e-learning course that helps students learn, at least in part, through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place and /or pace.
What students learn online informs what they learn face-to-face and vice-versa. Futhermore, if students have control over their pace, this control often extends to the entire subject that is blended, beyond the online learning portion of the coursework.

13. A Substantive Post…
Means adding something of substance to the discussion - your perspectives and ideas, examples from your work or life experience, questions, etc.
"I agree," for example, would not constitute participation since it does not add anything of substance to the discussion.
For best results, log in and participate several times (at least 2-3) each week.

Perhaps the most important thing I have learned about taking or teaching online courses is that being a successful student or teacher is an exercise in discipline. You have to be self-motivated to get work done
