Abstract: The Texas Learning Consortium Blended Learning (TLCBL) course taught blended learning theory and technology to foreign language professors The TLCBL was situated in a connectivist framework and delivered completely online It applied anchored instruction, teaching with narrative, and post-course faculty mentoring to support learners in their experimentation and application of blended learning knowledge Uniquely, the TLCBL featured a semi-fictional narrative based in the exotic destination of Peru The narrative starred a real-life language teacher actually located Peru, who was learning alongside the liberal arts faculty The language teacher interacted with the learners in character, giving the narrative a deep sense of authenticity and realism
