Blended learning
Susan ArmitagePhil Tubman
Blended learning some definitions
a course where at least some of the content is delivered and/or some of the interaction is conducted using information and communications technology, with the rest of the course delivery taking place in a face to face setting.
(Bell, 2002)
“This Strategy does not propose that e-learning replaces face to face models of learning but argues for a blended learning model in which ICT is deployed to enhance the quality and consistency of the student learning experience, complementing existing learning, teaching and assessment approaches.”

“Any given instructional strategy can be supported by a number of contrasting technologies (old and new), just as any given technology might support different instructional strategies. But for any given instructional strategy, some technologies are better than others: better to turn a screw with a screwdriver than a hammer — a dime may also do the trick, but a screwdriver is usually better”.
