Online and blended learning: reflective questions for students and staff - sparqs

This resource is an online and blended learning reflective questions resource, developed as part of the Tertiary Enhancement Topic project. Based on the recently re-designed Student Learning Experience model, it consists of a set of reflective questions focusing on aspects of online and blended learning and how the learning experience may differ depending on the mode of course delivery. The resource can be used to start conversations with students, enabling students and staff to work together to identify priorities to enhance the quality of learning.
This tool is included in section 4 of the web hub resource developed by QAA Scotland, sparqs and the College Development Network, as one of the outcomes of the Tertiary Enhancement Topic project. The web hub is aimed at providing sector practitioners and students with valuable information about online and blended learning delivery.
