Foreword Griffith University has a long-standing and widely recognised commitment to the creative use of technologies for enhancing the quality of student learning. In 2007 the University made the strategic decision to develop and embed a blended learning strategy across the institution. This was an important step, for it recognised the inherent value in blending the best of face-toface learning experiences with those enhanced by traditional and emerging technologies. Our students across disciplines and year levels frequently tell us how much they value effective use of technologies in their courses. While they appreciate being able to ‘download lecture notes’ and ‘listen to podcast lectures’, the deeper challenge is to integrate technology into curriculum design and assessment as we continue to look for ways to engage students in meaningful, intellectually stimulating learning. This practical resource is designed for academic staff who want to understand more about blended learning in their teaching and course design. It challenges you to think about the possibilities of blended learning, beyond simply uploading lecture notes online. Using an inductive approach to planning, designing, implementing and reviewing your practice, this guide represents a practical, step-by-step approach to using blended learning in your curriculum. It will be particularly useful for those just starting to explore the possibilities of blended learning designs. It also includes suggestions that will be relevant to the more advanced user of technology in teaching. I commend this resource to you and wish you well as you continue to push the boundaries in your use of technology to engage and inspire your students.
