Blended Learning: Research Perspectives
Blended Learning - What Is It and Where Might It Take Us (Sloan-C View Article)
Blended Learning – What Is It and Where Might It Take Us? - February 2003 – A featured 3-page article in the Sloan-C View authored by Richard Voos of Babson College. The article provides some general definitions, as well as many examples of blended programs. It also asks some key questions concerning blended learning:
Can a hybrid of the two—a blended learning solution—provide better outcomes than either?
What will I teach online and what will I teach face-to-face?
Richard observes:
"It is likely not the "blendedness" that makes the difference, but rather the fundamental re-consideration of the content in light of new instructional and media choices. When we simply try to replicate the classroom course in a blended course (or online), breakthroughs do not occur."

Also, the article provides some descriptions of actual programs, such as the Babson and Saint Joseph College Programs. Are those descriptions consistent with the design of your programs, and if not, how do your programs differ?
