Full program of ULearn14 In this interactive workshop we'll explore some of the resources available for implementing a blended curriculum and allow participants to explore digital platforms (video conferencing; Skype) and online resources (ABC Splash and the Digital Toolbox) that allow students to connect, collaborate and learn collectively. Interactive platforms (Padlet, Google docs) will be utilised to allow input from delegates about how to choose effective digital resources and how to improve student learning outcomes in a blended learning environment. ||
 * **"Blended Learning to Improve Student Outcomes in Rural and Regional Environments"** Blended learning has the potential to reduce the disadvantage suffered by students in rural and remote schools. Using a combination of face-to-face classes and online platforms, schools can offer a broad range of subject choices and allow small schools with limited staff availability to operate more sustainably, by sharing the knowledge and expertise they have across clusters of schools and by connecting with experts across the country. New technology also has the potential to engage and motivate students by offering a range of alternative pathways to cater for individual interests and aspirations.
