Precel, Karen; Eshet-Alkalai, Yoram; Alberton, Yael – International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, 2009
Based on recent research reports, the blended learning model, which combines face-to-face and online learning, is now the preferred model for online course design. Its superiority over online learning, which lacks face-to-face interaction, is evident from studies that examined both student achievement and satisfaction. Nevertheless, there is…
