Student-led Differentiation within a Blended Learning Context: Using Student Choice within Asynchronous Learning Materials to Inform Teaching Practice
Workshop Presentation James Watt
This workshop will focus on sharing approaches to differentiation within asynchronous learning materials that incorporate student choice. Firstly, I will give an overview of how I use branching scenarios and interactives within my asynchronous learning materials, which require students to make choices that shape their learning experience. This encourages discovery, requires students to be active participants within asynchronous learning materials, and allows differentiation to begin before synchronous learning activities take place. The second half of the workshop will focus on participants sharing strategies for incorporating student choice within a blended learning context, as well as exploring how similar approaches could be adapted within different educational contexts.
