Supporting Blended Learning

The general tone of research in the area of blended learning is that it is an effective learning environment overall. Serdyukov (2017) found that learning is most effective when Internet learning experiences and face-to-face interactions between students and teachers are combined.

Create Your Own Adventure With Blended Learning

Blended learning allows for the incorporation of fundamental learning theories and instructional design methods in a way that allows the learner to “create their own adventure” (Baker, 2021). Blended learning is expected to grow in varied, organizational and corporate learning environments due to evidence of increased collaboration and interaction, cost savings and agility to strategically align selected content and knowledge to match goals, objectives and the culture of an organization (Mubayrik, 2018). Although foundational learning theories were published decades ago, they provide a substantial framework that allows researchers, educators, instructional designers, and leaders to develop and select a learning strategy in place that best fits today's knowledge.
