Blended learning is a combination of any form of technology enhanced learning with face-to-face instructor-led training. So called guidebooks describe how self-paced learning activities can be blended with collaborative activities. This paper describes the requirements for such a guidebook based on results from a Delphi study. A draft of a possible structure for such a guidebook is suggested.

Nebulous combinations of face-to-face and online learning are increasingly common across Australian higher education contexts. This paper reports on part of a redesign project of an undergraduate education subject at a regional university. The aim of the redesign was to enhance e-learning and blended learning environments. An approach that maps the evaluation research activities to the design a...

22 This paper discusses the harmonizing role of technology and interaction in a qualitative study on blended 23 problem-based learning within the context of academic development in higher education. Within this 24 setting, and as both designers and tutors in blended PBL, it is important to seek best practices for how 25 to combine instructional strategies in face-to-face and computer-mediated e...

This study explores how second generation tutors within blended learning courses link the face-to-face and online course modalities – in their representations as well as through their pedagogical activities – and which aspects help them to feel involved in the course. The methodology used is a qualitative analysis of interviews with seven tutors of three different blended learning courses. The ...
