3. Definition Blended learning in higher education is an instructional approach that combines traditional face-to-face classroom methods with online educational materials and activities. This method leverages the strengths of both in-person and online learning to create a more flexible and effective educational experience. Here are some key aspects of blended learning in higher education: Integration of Online and Offline Methods : Courses are designed to include both in-person sessions and online components, such as lectures, discussions, and assignments. Flexibility and Accessibility : Students can access course materials and complete assignments online, allowing them to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. Enhanced Engagement: The combination of different teaching methods can increase student engagement and participation.

4. Policy Definition BL An approach that chooses from all other approaches used in face-to-face education, distance education and eLearning, thus enabling academics to teach in various ways that both suit subjects and meet the needs of their students ( NOLNet , 2016) And hybrid?

18. Development Models 18

19. High level BL design considerations 19

20. Consider: Is BL … Appropriate to the audience? Appropriate to the course outcomes? Facilitated by a faculty team? Robust design phase? What is the ideal blend-ratio ? Theory vs practical Extent of social interactions Identify ideal technology? LMS, user devices Sufficient connectivity? On campus vs remote access Mitigation if not favourable?

22. Assessment & BL 22

23. Assessment 23

24. Assessment 24 Academics need to, rethink summative assessment in an online world rethink assessment tasks with AI tools available use continuous assessment and/or portfolios of evidence instead of examinations the application of principles rather than mere comprehension Criteria to mitigate AI?

25. OER 25

26. OER 26 Developers need to, Rethink how to author courses. Does development always have to be from scratch? Conduct an audit for available OER prior to development of a course Be aware of Creative Commons licensing and the implications for adaptation
