BlendKit 2017: Week 1 Blog

I have enrolled in an online course called BlendKit 2017, offered by University of Central Florida (UCF) via Canvas,net.
What is actually blended learning? That's what I am going to find out because the term has been widely used by many fields, especially by academic institutions in my country. Some of my colleagues think that blended learning is about using ICT to teach, some said it is to replace face-to-face (F2F) teaching session by going online, some categories blended learning as e-learning and so on. Many discussions spawn from blended learning and one of it that triggered my curiosity the most is the comparison between blended learning and F2F teaching.

So, let me explore about Blended Learning in this 5 weeks course. Perhaps I could share what I learn from this course here.

Never stop thinking ;)
