"The goal of a blended approach is to join the best bits of face-to-face and online instruction. Classroom time can be used more effectively, for instance to cover challenging concepts or to address questions students may have on a current topic. Meanwhile, the online portion of the course can provide learners with multimedia-rich content at any time of day, accessed from college computer labs, on the move or at home, providing flexibility and convenience for learners."
