9. What is blended learning?
‘Blended learning seems to mean, some e-
learning and some classroom. It is in vogue for
a simple reason. No one wants to spend that
much on e-learning and people want to
preserve what they have, so they have made up
this nice new name for not changing much and
calling it blended learning’
ROGER SCHANK
