Systematic review of 20 blended learning design studies coded by two coders. The results section reports that in most studies the instructor decided the blend, and that "flexibility or learner control was thus limited to time- and place-independent activities." Only three studies gave learners control over the realization of the blend.

"Third, in most of the selected studies, the decision or responsibility for the realization of the blend was made by the instructor (n=17)."
