My Action Plan on a blended learning course

Goals.

That content in  the Moodle learning platform,  which is  part of   the blended learning  course   for  our Saturday´s students ,  can be  more  manageable and understandable  for students,  so they  can  efficiently use content and tools in such platform towards   their language learning and towards the  encouragement and development  of  independent  learning  .

 Objectives:

Units Objectives and instructions will be modified looking for improvement unit by unit in the Moodle learning platform to match general syllabus goals and to meet clear understanding.

Content will be reorganized and updated,  if necessary, in each unit  to aid student  during  their  learning process in the course

Tutorials will be carried out during class and  through Skype  on how to use new content .

New changes in content and instruction will be under constant observation and analysis during fate-to-face  in class, through Skype  and  during online participation.
