19. blended learning
“Blended learning is more effective than either face to face or
online learning by themselves.”
“Between online and face to face instruction, online is at least
as good and may even have the advantage in terms of
improving student achievement and potentially expanding the
amount of time (and quality time) students spend learning.”
