Abstract
“An Introduction to Educational Technology” is one of the core courses for undergraduate majors of educational technology at Beijing Normal University. It is a fundamental course which is intended to lay a solid foundation for the students of this field of study and to help them understand their field of study better. Based on empirical studies, the authors have developed a optimal method of curriculum design for blended Learning.The method has been proven to be fairly effective by a four-year implementation of a comprehensive hands-on practice through enabling the students to carry out relevant career designs. This paper attempts to shed light on the concepts of such curriculum design and to elaborate on the way it has been done and is also intended to provide a framework of reference for faculty of this field and other practitioners.
