Summary
Chapter 6 delves into the second phase of the BLL framework, the Build phase. This phase involves creating and layering activities and tasks and ensures that the course is centered upon active student learning. The Build phase considers teaching objectives, learning outcomes, and the organizational structure of a BLL course (course mapping, course and unit outline), which greatly informs the blended path. The chapter is rife with examples of activities delivered in the online component of the blended path with the help of technology tools. The final section of the chapter encourages educators to conduct a reflection on the integration process of such tools in the blended path.
