A recent survey shows that printed materials constitute over 50% of blended learning.  Programmed Learning (PL) will make these printed materials more of a learning process rather than merely information dumping.  The individualized system allows the trainees to master the subject matter at his or her own pace.

This program is designed for:

• All Course Designers
• Those who want to create various self instructional, non-computerized materials

To develop skills to design programmed learning as a significant addition to blended learning.

• Develop "teaching frames" and "criterion frames" as well as a testing and validation process

* Introduction: Workshop Objectives

*How to Incorporate Programmed Learning into the Concept of Blended Learning 

*Overview of the Design Process

*Development and Application of Learning Objectives and a Final Criterion "Test" on your own project

*Selecting the Appropriate Design Format

-Linear: the most common approach

-Branching: "Fast-slow track;" "remedial" (when to use these formats)

-"Mathetics" or "backward chaining" potentially an effective format

-"Adjunct Programming" and effective approach to save developmental time 

*Developing Teaching Frames

*Application of Teaching Frames on Your Own Project

*Testing, Validating and Revising
