Blended Learning support

Blended learning purposefully integrates and aligns online and in-person learning experiences. This includes both the new official definition of blended – a class scheduled as “BLND” in which instruction or activity is distributed between scheduled in-person and required online activities, resulting in fewer scheduled in-class hours – and courses that use an online environment for content or lecture delivery and the classroom for active learning opportunities (e.g., flipped classroom).
