    Abstract

    Blended learning is a well-articulated framework for the incorporation of on-line technology in module delivery. It introduces a wide range of on-line environments that can be used to enhance students’ experience. More importantly, it also provides a sophisticated guidance on how to develop coherent and well integrated content that enables students to switch seamlessly between learning environments without losing sight of the logical thread running throughout the module. While building on the principles outlined in classic educational theories (e.g., constructive alignment, Bloom’s taxonomy) the blended learning approach takes teaching and learning to 21st century by incorporating on-line environments as an inseparable part of student experience.
