| EPE798 Comparative Higher Education can also be taken Face2Face! |
For those interested in EPE798 Comparative Higher Education listed as a DL class this spring, I wanted to answer some questions about how the class will be offered.
Using a blended delivery method developed by Dr. Joan Mazur, the course delivery will offer you a CHOICE. CHOICE™ is a Dr. Mazur's acronym for Choose How Online Interaction Can Educate. What this option means is that we will be ‘broadcasting’ a face-to-face class on an agreed upon date (when a substantial number of you might either attend a class in person OR synchronously). With help from the UK tech staff we will also record that class on the Adobe Connect system for those of you not in attendance to view at a later time.
So students who want a face to face experience can attend class. Or you can join me online through the Adobe Connect system. Or you can view the class after the fact and participate through Bb discussion and group activities. And you don't have to choose only one method...come when you can or log on instead.

I hope that experimenting with this new blended format will provide more opportunities for our students with busy schedules to take advantage of our EPE classes. This format will also allow us to interact with scholars from all over the world.
Please contact me if you have questions!
