“The 20 million SMEs in Europe provide around 65 million jobs & a key source of innovation and growth” (Europe's Information Society Thematic Portal)

Collaborative Blended Learning Methodology (CBLM) is…

…..Webquest 2.0 collaborativeprojects that take place less as face–to–face meetings but mostly on–line, supported by (a)synchronous Web 2.0 technologies combining at the sametime collaborative learning with self paced learning” (Perifanou, 2011).

“A Webquest 2.0 is an inquiry–oriented activity that takes place basically in a Web 2.0–enhanced, social and interactive open learning environment, in which the learner can decide to create his own learning paths choosing the Web 2.0 tools and the on–line resources needed for the completion of the final Webquest 2.0 product” (Perifanou, 2011).
