How can we best help our time-pressured academics design rich blended and online courses? University College London (UCL) has developed ABC, an effective and engaging hands-on workshop that has now been used with great success across the institution. In just 90 minutes using a rapid prototyping format academic teams work together to create a visual "storyboard" using cards to outline the type and sequence of learning activities, (both online and offline, required to meet the course's learning outcomes. ABC is particularly useful for new courses or those changing to an online or more blended format. We facilitated ABC Rapid Blended Course Design for Educators workshop at EDEN2016 and it raised interest from many institutions, several of them being in Sweden. We will facilitate the workshop at EDEN2017 with our Swedish colleagues who adopted the method and provide an opportunity for interested colleagues from Swedish (and other) universities interested in this method to attend the workshop.
