Blended Learning Solutions in Higher Education explores the origins, empirical foundations, and implementation of blended learning in colleges and universities. Since emerging as a third-way solution to traditional and virtual higher education models, blended learning has become a predominant learning modality in an era of rapid technological proliferation. Offering an alternative to longstanding yet flawed methodologies and assumptions about its validity, this book conceptualizes blended learning as a complex social practice mediated by knowledge, institutional rules, policies, and norms as well as material factors such as technology and physical spaces. The book’s original MIRACLE framework offers a research-grounded, highly practical guide to blended learning design, improvement, and long-term efficacy. From demystified history and heuristics to digitized platforms and course content to reimagined governance and regulations, these insights provide a thoughtful exemplar of blended learning’s challenges and affordances along with a firm basis for integrating face-to-face and online learning, teaching, and assessment innovatively and creatively.
