The Theory What is Blended Learning? Seat time is replaced with online activities that involve students in meeting course objectives. (Kezar, 2011)
A mix of delivery methods selected and fashioned to accommodate diverse learning needs. (McSporran & King, 2005)
There is a convergence of interest, need and opportunity with regard to blended learning. (Garrison & Vaughan, 2008)

The Theory What Do You Mean by Millenial Learners ?
Confident, connected and agile (Morreale, 2016)
They do not concentrate on one activity at the time and accept multi tasking as the “norm” (Bloemsma, 2013)
They are informal learners preferring “any time, any place” learning (…) Class time is most effective when it involves interaction demonstration and social networking (Matulich, Papp & Haytko, 2008)

The Context: Currents of Change Communities are responding to new socio-cultural contexts, and language courses can no longer focus solely on linguistic aspects; the culture in which learners are immersed needs to be shared and taught. Learners—professionals in transition—are demanding learning outcomes that help advance their careers, of which language skills are a part. Programs in continuing education need to adapt to take into account available technologies and new pedagogies. Educators are behooved to engage in self-reflection regarding their roles but also what they wish to bring to their teaching in the future.
High Expectations / Manon Gadbois 8
The Context In the bilingual context of Quebec, employees need to be able to communicate in the workplace both in English and in French to answer every day needs. As McAll (2003) points out, professional success might often depend on their ability to use both languages fluently.
High Expectations / Manon Gadbois 9
The Program French for Professional Communication – Certificate of Proficiency • 30 credits • 10 courses of three credits each – 39 hours per course – evenings/Saturdays • 3 sessions per year: Fall and Winter (13 weeks), Spring (8 weeks) • 5 levels (3 intermediate, 2 advanced) • 2 courses per level • Preparatory Module (3 levels – 1 beginner and 2 elementary) • Age average: 35
High Expectations / Manon Gadbois 10
Why enhancing the program ? Rational: Various criticisms were leveled, both from students and instructors, about their learning/teaching experience while using the University’s Learning Management System (Desire2Learn®). A new customized way of delivery for our courses was needed along with a subsequent revision of content using innovative practices.
High Expectations / Manon Gadbois 11
Why enhancing the program ? Our objectives: • • • • • •
A more culturally oriented offering A task-based approach beyond usual purely-linguistic objectives A better uniformity and complementarity as a whole A new interactive & user-friendly interface A faster anytime/anywhere access to content with mobile responsive options A zero photocopy environment

Practice 2 - You are the administrator Step 1 - In groups of 3-4 people, identify in order of importance the main challenges you might encounter in your institution implementing a new innovative course/program. Brain storm some potential solutions (10m) Challenges
Solutions
No 1No 2No 3No 4No 5Step 2 - With the rest of the group, share your no1 challenge and one solution to succeed in implementing change (10m)
High Expectations / Manon Gadbois 27
Our Challenges Challenges
Solutions/Recommendations
No1- Engage educators in self-reflection
• Take the time to explain objectives • Involve them in every step on the way and offer training • Reflect with the group after pilot to create cohesion and collaboration
*the most challenging but the most rewarding No 2- Obtain budget institution is ready to give for change ($)
• Take the time to explain objectives and outcomes • Show what is there for the institution • Show case project is aligned with CE mission
No 3- Work with numerous stakeholders with different priorities
• Plan time and respect established schedule but allow flexibility • Do not expect it will take the expected time and go along with it • Identify priorities and roles from the start and accept to redo when needed
No 4- Face a new “union” reality”
• Open discussion and identity roles/work from different parties • Clarify mandates (as a lecturer vs with additional development contract)
