Choosing learning technologies
How do I choose the learning technologies that will best suit my course?
On this database you can access some course examples that show how different technologies have been used in different teaching/learning approaches across a range of subject areas.

You can scroll through constructivist learning activities to choose the most appropriate forms of low-tech, mid-tech, and high-tech delivery.
This article by Purnima Valiathan in Learning Circuits, titled Blended Learning Models, describes three models of blended learning and the key features of each.
