Feedback from tutor

Aim: major time and efficiency savings

“Blended Learning refers to a course which combines F2F classroom component with an appropriate use of technology” (Sharma, Barrett 2007)

Is blended learning worth considering?

“Allocation of time between blended learning and face-to-face instructional strategies is not the question. It is a question of which methodology will best serve student needs. We want to provide the right and best opportunities for learning.”
