In response to rapid increases in student numbers, the English Language Program at Kansas State University adapted a pencil and paper orientation for newly-arrived international students into a blended course using K-State Online (an Axio LMS) in conjunction with lectures and face-to-face activities. This presentation will focus on what worked, what didn't work, and what still needs work.
