Workshop 3D
Title: Blended Learning in Action

Abstract:
This workshop is a presentation of the blended learning functionality of the UTS:Insearch new Academic English (AE) curriculum.

The UTS:Insearch AE curriculum has been designed to be delivered using a multi-platform mode incorporating face-to-face teaching where all materials are accessible via Blackboard using UTS-Online and Balckboard Mobile Learn. Students can preview, review and extend all course materials anytime, anywhere (in bed, at the beach, on the train or in a plane) using mobile iPhones, iPads and of course personal computers and laptops.
