Blended+delivery


 * Blended Delivery at SDEHS **

What is the right blended delivery for students at Sydney Distance Education High School?

Our aim is to engage our students in quality education programs to enhance student learning outcomes.

Using Moodle as our //Learning Management System// (LMS) we are currently developing online modules and resources to supplement other forms of delivery of our courses in order to provide a truly blended, flexible delivery that suits the individual students that we teach. Since 2007 we have driven this program with a focus on project development whereby faculties identify courses and topics to be converted to online modules and map these to the syllabus, embedding in course outlines. There are stringent policies eg. copyright, e-learning and processes involved to ensure accountability and final delivery of quality online teaching resources.

The DET is carefully developing 21st Century tools to support teachers in their endeavour to provide quality teaching and learning programs and easy access for teachers and students through the DET Portal.

//The Connected Classrooms Program// provides us with the tools required to connect synchronously and asynchronously) with students through videoconferencing, interactive whiteboard and webconferencing to share desktops.

//Learning Tools Projects// are developing and providing social media tools for teaching and learning, and we currently have access to blogED which we hope to embed into our teaching and learning programs to ensure a real flexible, blended delivery for all students.
