What is blended learning?

Blended learning environments are generally understood as a style of learning that combines face-to-face learning with online learning, wherein the two components complement each other.  Most definitions agree that effective blended learning combines components of courses such as (a) space, e.g., face-to-face learning and online learning, (b) media, e.g., lectures and online media, and (c) pedagogy, e.g., active learning approaches and self-directed web-based instruction. Linder (2016) points out that definitions of blended environments can disagree on (d) time, e.g., whether online components of a blended course replace time previously allocated to face-to-face instruction.

Why blended learning?

Effectiveness
The impact of blended learning approaches on student learning outcomes may not be definitive, however, there appears to be evidence that shows students in blended learning environments perform better than those who attend traditional face-to-face environments (Kintu, Zhu & Kagambe, 2017).

Improved evaluations of teaching
Students have rated evaluations of teaching higher in flipped and blended courses (Samuel, 2019; Owston, York & Malhotra, 2019). Students’ satisfaction with courses that make use of active learning approaches could be due to greater opportunities for teacher and peer interaction. Another finding was that courses with online lectures allowed students to more carefully study and review content.
