Abstract:
Engaging graduate students in teacher education programs can be enhanced with collaborative tools and techniques during a honeymoon period. This paper includes five major components for successful blended (hybrid) learning: perceived security and self-confidence; drama and engagement; learner context and control; learner support; and digital demographics. Theoretical framework and personal examples are included within each component to make the trip memorable down the online learning aisle.
