Adopting a teddie learning design model to plan blended teaching activities: Reflections from a teacher trainees’ poetry lecture

Technology is rapidly being adopted by institutions of higher education as a tool to enhance collaboration and cognitive development during the learning process. There is extensive literature on successful stories on how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been applied in various contexts of learning but each classroom context offers specific dynamics and hence requires different approaches of integrating ICT. In this paper the author shares some experiences where she employed blended learning activities for a poetry lecture. She uses the Think, Explore, Design, Develop, Implement and Evaluate (TEDDIE) learning design model to plan and implement online and face-to-face learning activities and presents evidence from the field to illustrate the possibilities of using ICT to support interactive learning in a poetry lecture. © 2019 The author and IJLTER.ORG.
