Description¶
The article frames blended learning as courses that "combine face-to face classroom instruction with online learning", involving a shift away from lecture-style instruction toward a more student-centred style. It is described as a mix of pedagogical approaches combining the effectiveness and socialisation opportunities of the classroom with the technological enhancements of online learning. Garrison and Vaughan's (2008) key assumptions are thoughtfully integrating face-to-face and online learning, rethinking course design to optimise student engagement, and restructuring and replacing traditional class contact hours.
