Blended Learning is when a portion of a traditional face-to-face course is replaced with an online component. A blended or hybrid course must be 30-70% mixed to meet the criteria. This page is dedicated to information  about blended learning as well as methods, strategies, and best practices. According to U.S. Department of Education’s report, “Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning: A Meta-Analysis and Review of Online Learning Studies”, students in a blended environment out perform those in an online or traditional only class.
