Blended learning formats in higher education : Focus on Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis

•   The last decade has experienced an increase of children diagnosed with autism creating  a demand for behaviour analytic  supports. However many countries lack expertise and university based coursework in behaviour analysis. The purpose of this paper is to present two courses which utilized blended learning technologies. Blended learning has been found especially useful when expertise is geographically limited, and for culturally tailoring content. The first course was advanced level and adhered to BACB certification guidelines (BCBA), collaboration was between University of North Texas and Stockholm University. The second course introduced ABA as it relates to autism to students  in the Nordic-Baltic region. Courses were evaluated using different formats. Findings are discussed related to topics raised at higher education summit held  at the University of North Texas which focused on issues  pertaining to designing, implementing, and supervising behaviour analytic interventions in autism
