Office for Students Blended Learning Review: The Office for Students (OfS) has launched a review of blended learning. To support our engagement with this review alongside UCL initiatives such as the Education Priorities and Programme strategy, UCL would like to invite staff from across the institution to contribute to an informal micro case study evidencing effective examples of blended learning. These can be drawn from any time period, either prior to the pandemic or during it, and should ideally underscore an intervention’s value and impact, highlighting key points such as the benefits to students and staff, effects on pedagogy, examples of practice, and so on. As a guideline, a response should be no longer than 250-300 words and submitted by COP 11th May. For more information and to submit a case study, see the Digital education blog post Office for Students Blended Learning Review.
