Lessons Learned and Future Improvements
If I were to redesign the course, I would begin by developing the overall structure and learning sequence before selecting the digital tools. This approach would allow each activity to have a clear instructional purpose and stronger connection to the learning objectives. I would also provide more detailed directions, include additional modeling and examples, and test each digital activity before introducing it to students. Another improvement would be to create more opportunities for interaction, collaboration, and formative assessment so that student learning could be monitored throughout the course. I would also organize the course in a way that helps students manage their time and move between face-to-face instruction and online activities with greater clarity. These changes would create a more intentional, accessible, and engaging blended learning experience.
Designing for a Professional Learning Audience
Redesigning the course for peer educators in a professional development setting would shift the focus from student-centered learning activities to practical strategies that educators can immediately apply in their own classrooms. The course could include collaborative discussions, instructional design workshops, demonstrations of digital tools, and opportunities for educators to create and receive feedback on their own blended learning activities. The content would emphasize selecting and integrating digital tools based on learning objectives, student needs, and instructional context rather than focusing primarily on technology itself. Real classroom examples, adaptable templates, and opportunities for educators to reflect on their instructional practices would make the professional development experience practical, collaborative, and relevant to their professional needs.
