This report culminates a year plus of work in which a collaborative of educators dedicated themselves to studying blended learning as the pedagogical model of choice in higher education. It is not a surprise that the Online Learning Consortium should have undertaken this initiative since historically it has been the worldwide leader in promoting online education, including blended learning, for decades.  \nMore than 20 years ago, in August 1999, a small group of grantees of t he Alfred P. Sloan Foundation’s Anytime, Anyplace Learning Program met at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to discuss the latest developments in online learning. The entire two-day meeting was devoted to presenting the current nascent state of online learning and contemplating future directions. While not a topic on the agenda, a small, informal group of individuals from the University of Central Florida, the State University of New York and the City University of New York discussed the emerging activity of faculty who were blending and matching online and face-to-face to instruction. A common focus of these discussions was the need of  \ncommuter students for whom geographic distance was not an issue with regard to in-person classes as much as the time involved in fitting classes into their incredibly busy days of working, taking care of families, and attending college classes. What started as a small discussion blossomed into a recognition that a new modality was emerging that would equal and surpass the fully online modality in the years ahead. By 2002, a community had developed that included a number of other colleges such asthe University of Illinois in Chicago and the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. A grant proposal was submitted to the Sloan Foundation to sponsor a blended learning workshop. It was held in 2003 at the University of Illinois in Chicago and explored defi nit ions and models that would give some substantive form to blended learning. At that time, there was little research on blended learning and a defi nit ion proved elusive. It took a small group of attendees nine months to agree on a working defi nit ion. The workshop became an annual event hosted by the University of Illinois in Chicago and later the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. In 2007, the Alfred P. Sloan Consortium ( now OLC) published the fi rst book of res","cbCair0v7yoy0ip5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCair0v7yoy0ip5","pdf",4036405,32,"English","# Welcome Letter\n## Historical development of blended learning\n## Focus areas and future roadmap","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the OLC Blended Learning Symposium 2022 Report?\",\"answer\":\"It presents a consolidated set of insights from a year-plus collaboration focused on blended learning as the preferred pedagogical model in higher education.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the letter describe the origins of the blended learning initiative?\",\"answer\":\"It connects early discussions and meetings on online learning with subsequent workshops, research efforts, and the eventual move toward an annual blended learning focus.\"},{\"question\":\"Which main themes does the report highlight?\",\"answer\":\"The report covers instructional design, equity, evaluation, assessment, faculty support, and administrative challenges in blended learning contexts.\"}]","OLC Blended Learning Symposium 2022 Report - Welcome Letter | PDF",1792059597,81]
