Blended learning in practice

Procter, CT

Abstract

This paper is in two parts. Firstly it attempts to create a definition of blended learning. It argues that blended learning need not be seen as the province of technical experts or of distance-learning students. Blended learning is simply the effective combination of different modes of delivery, models of teaching and styles of learning. The paper goes on to outline the development of a part-time degree in Information Technology using blended learning. The experience of this development and subsequent implementation may be of value elsewhere in genuinely encouraging widening participation in higher education.
