BLENDED LEARNING
“Results to date show improved student learning in 19 of the 30 projects, with the remaining 11 showing no significant difference. Other outcomes achieved by the redesigns include increased course completion rates, improved retention, better student attitudes toward the subject matter, and increased student satisfaction with the mode of instruction compared to traditional formats.”
Heterick & Twigg, 2003 (as cited in Garrison & Kanuka, 2004)
