Moving towards Flexible Learning & Teaching

Blended learning can be defined as “the thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face learning experiences with online learning experiences” (Garrison & Kanuka, 2004, p. 96).

Blended learning makes use of a range of technologies and the time and space that asynchronous learning affords our students, to create a quality learning experience that supports and complements the traditional classroom. In terms of pedagogy, an effective interweaving of the f2f classroom and the online space can be achieved through the adoption of Fink's (2013) Active Learning Model (see below).
