This paper sets out the central problem of current blended learning research that it does not have an appropriate focus on educational theory. The paper explains how the blended learning praxis in higher education can be understood in terms of Rousseau’s educational theory. The research methods for collecting qualitative data from 28 academics in 3 universities are explained concisely. The anal...

Experiences with online learning in higher education have grown due to advancements in technology, technological savviness of students, changes in student expectations, and evolution of teaching approaches in higher education. Blended learning, the thoughtful fusion of face-to-face instruction with online learning, can enhance student learning and provide rewarding teaching experiences for facu...
