Within NHL Stenden University of Applied Science, a choice for a new virtual learning environment was made in mid-2021, primarily on policy and management grounds. Early in the migration process, it became clear that this approach could perturb the further rollout of the Design-Based Education (DBE, https://edu.nl/mwp8j) educational concept. Four templates were developed to intertwine technological and educational processes that structure different ways of "blended" learning and teaching within DBE. Initial user experiences show that the templates’ structures help teachers reconsider online learning activities to shape and facilitate blended DBE learning processes.
Steeds meer onderwijs is flexibel en gepersonaliseerd. Dat zorgt voor uitdagingen rondom sociale binding van studenten onderling, met de opleiding en met docenten. Daarnaast wordt steeds meer onderwijs online en blended vormgegeven. Dit draagt bij aan de vraag: Hoe zorg je bij online en blended onderwijs dat mensen elkaar nog weten te vinden en te bereiken? De zone Flexibilisering van het onderwijs deed er onderzoek naar. Daar is een praatplaat en handreiking Sociale binding in online en blended leergemeenschappen uitgekomen. Hierin worden concrete ontwerpprincipes – voorzien van voorbeelden, werkvormen en (ICT-)tools – gepresenteerd.

Blended learning, a teaching format in which face-to-face and online learning is integrated, nowadays is an important development in education. Little is known, however, about its affordances for teacher education, and for domain specific didactical courses in particular. To investigate this topic, we carried out a design research project in which teacher educators engaged in a co-design process of developing and field-testing open online learning units for mathematics and science didactics. The preliminary results concern descriptions of the work processes by the design teams, of design heuristics, and of typical ways of collaborating. These findings are illustrated for the case of two of the designed online units on statistics didactics and mathematical thinking, respectively.
