Blended Learning@NIE

Blended Learning@NIE isn’t just about mixing online and face-to-face teaching. It’s about designing learning that’s flexible, empowering, and built for the future. With sound pedagogical practices at its core, it gives students greater control over how, when, and where they learn while helping our faculty craft more meaningful, connected learning experiences.

At the Centre for Innovation in Learning, we bring Blended Learning@NIE to life by supporting our faculty with hands-on initiatives like Design Clinics, bite-sized pedagogical tips in our monthly e-newsletter, and real-time sharing through IN-Scape, our vibrant online teaching community on Yammer. Whether it’s co-creating tech-enabled teaching solutions or exploring new ed-tech tools together, we are here to make blended learning more effective, flexible, and impactful with faculty at the center.
