Definition of blended delivery “A pedagogical approach that combines the effectiveness and socialization opportunities of the classroom with the technologically enhanced active learning possibilities of the online environment” EducauseCentre for Educational Research http://net.educause.edu/ir/library/pdf/ERB0407.pdf
Or as in the literature: Blended learning emerges from the functional integration of the two instructional modes, which in practice means that “blended learning courses have the potential to offer the convenience and flexibility of online courses yet still maintain the interactivity and face-to-face contact offered through traditional courses” (Jones et al., 2003, p. 43).
