Promotional Material and Instructor's Guide for Blended Learning

Image
Scope and Intention: After creating five lessons on student success, I was asked to write promotional materials to introduce these lessons to community college professors and administrators. The content I wrote is specifically directed towards seven community colleges that use these lessons, but is also used to promote these lessons to new potential clients. My intention behind the "Why Teach" page was to succinctly introduce these lessons and explain how they can help educators and students reach their goals.

The guide includes discussion questions and activities that instructors and advisors may use to facilitate blended learning. Please see the promotional "Why Teach" page here .
