Abstract
We report on the design of a blended-learning course in elementary symbolic logic. Challenges and solutions pertaining to the Blackboard e-learning environment (Blackboard Academic Suite Release 8.0) and a customized Gentzen-style proof checker are described. The purpose is to provide orientation for those in the planning stage of similar projects.
