Looking for the Pedagogy in Blended Course Design Malcolm Brown, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative director, and Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative associate director, will moderate this online seminar with Patricia McGee, associate professor at the University of Texas at San Antonio. The proliferation of blended/hybrid initiatives and resources (through ELI and NGLC particularly) is heartening and furthering a delivery model that is reaching maturity. However, there is still much to be examined about what organizations promote as models for designed blended courses and how these models are enacted by practitioners. Research in this area tends to focus on learner traits, grades, faculty/learner levels of satisfaction, and/or levels of learner engagement (see Dzuiban, Hartman, and Moskal, 2004; Nagal, 2009). But blended learning is more than a simple "flip" of the classroom because it requires careful planning and cautious implementation and may even be transformative for instructor and learner.
