“I wish to hold a discussion about the Block Teaching format with the group. This is where a course is taught as one block, and not divided into the normal 50 min blocks through a week, taken with many other courses. Thus five courses are completed from Sept to Christmas in both formats, but the way it is taken is different. There are challenges and many big benefits to the Block Format. I want to share experiences I have had running a pilot at Acadia University, Quest University here in BC and Colorado College in the US.”
