Abstract
Blended learning may become the educational delivery method of choice in higher education. The use of blended learning constitutes a significant change in course structure and instruction. Faculty development plays a vital role in supporting this change and is critical to ensuring instructional quality as increasing numbers of faculty members use a blended approach. It is important that this faculty development is well-designed and based on appropriate pedagogy to effectively support the use of blended learning; yet many of the professional development opportunities still employ traditional didactic instruction not well suited for affecting change in instructors’ practice. This presentation details one approach to supporting instructors’ use of blended learning through faculty development based on the principles of cognitive apprenticeship.
