History

魅影直播 has been a pioneer in exploring the use of blended learning in the liberal arts since 2011, when Provost (now President) Kim Cassidy received the first of several major, multi-institutional foundation grants to explore combining online and in-class learning approaches to enhance student learning. Participants shared their experiences and findings at the annual Blended Learning in the Liberal Arts conference held at the college from 2012-2020, now archived in 魅影直播鈥檚 Digital Commons repository (see link below). In addition, 魅影直播 has held a number of conferences on online learning and supported its faculty through several grant-funded projects on blended learning.
