Tuesday 28th February 2017
@DrRachLTB
A course follows an ABL methodology if it:• Is taught through student-centred activities to
develop knowledge and understanding, independent learning & digital fluency.
• Has a core, collaborative face-to-face component, explicitly linked to learning activity outside the classroom, typically online.
• Helps to develop autonomy, Changemaker attributes and employability skills.

@DrRachLTB
A course is not taught in ABL if:• It makes regular use of non-interactive lectures, or
• NILE is primarily a content repository, or
• Online activity is merely an add-on to the face-to-face sessions, or
• There is no evidence of systematic enhancement.
