The Blended Synchronous Learning Handbook - A Handbook for Educators


This Handbook is the main output of the Blended Synchronous Learning Project. 

It includes a Blended Synchronous Learning Design Framework that offers pedagogical, technological and logistical recommendations for teachers attempting to design and implement blended synchronous learning lessons (see Chapter 14). The Handbook also includes a Rich-Media Synchronous Technology Capabilities Framework to support the selection of technologies for different types of learning activities (see Chapter 4), as well as a review of relevant literature, a summary of the Blended Synchronous Learning Scoping Study results, detailed reports of each of the seven case studies, and a cross case analysis.



Another key output of the project is the Blended Synchronous Learning website (available at http://blendsync.org). It contains video overviews of the case studies, a link to the Blended Synchronous Learning Collaborator Network, and other information about the project including the personnel, publications, and workshops associated with the initiative.
