Blended Learning Solutions in Higher Education explores the origins, empirical foundations, and implementation of blended learning in colleges and universities. Since emerging as a third-way solution to traditional and virtual higher education models, blended learning has become a predominant learning modality in an era of rapid technological proliferation. Offering an alternative to longstanding yet flawed methodologies and assumptions about its validity, this book conceptualizes blended learning as a complex social practice mediated by knowledge, institutional rules, policies, and norms as well as material factors such as technology and physical spaces. The book’s original MIRACLE framework offers a research-grounded, highly practical guide to blended learning design, improvement, and long-term efficacy. From demystified history and heuristics to digitized platforms and course content to reimagined governance and regulations, these insights provide a thoughtful exemplar of blended learning’s challenges and affordances along with a firm basis for integrating face-to-face and online learning, teaching, and assessment innovatively and creatively.
Neil Hughes is Professor of Languages and Digital Learning Technologies, Digital Learning Director, and Director of Modern Language Teaching for the Faculty of Arts in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Studies at the University of Nottingham, UK.
