  • The first suggestion for institutions that intend to implement blended learning is that they must be realistic about the investment of time, effort, and resources that are required for development and implementation. Institutions must create the necessary policy, planning, resources, scheduling, and support systems to ensure that blended learning initiatives are successful.
  • nstitutional factors. The first institutional factor required for successful blended learning is the allocation of dedicated services to support and assist learners and facilitators throughout the development and use of modules. This includes spending resources on communication to encourage instructors and prospective end-users to become actively involved and fully aware of blended learning initiatives (Garrison & Kanuka, 2004; Harris et al., 2009). The emphasis in this communication should focus on the learning and the associated outcomes rather than on the use of technology only. It should aim to encourage communication between users and developers, and help those involved to take full advantage of the resources available.

  • The final challenge for universities implementing blended learning is the difficulty in acquiring new learning technology skills, such as how to foster online learning communities, facilitate online discussion forums, and manage students (Dziuban & Moskal, 2013; Voos, 2003). As for students, technology can also be a challenge for universities implementing blended learning.
  • The other challenge for universities is the lack of support for course design. In order to ensure a successful blended learning experience for students, there must be university support for course redesign, which may involve deciding what course objectives can best be achieved through online learning activities, what can best be accomplished in the classroom, and how to integrate these two learning environments (Dziuban et al., 2006).
  • st as time concerns are a challenge for students, the first challenge for implementation of blended learning for universities is time commitment. Johnson (2002) estimates that planning and developing a large-enrollment, blended learning course usually takes two to three times the amount of time required to develop a similar course in a traditional format.

    "Garrison and Vaughan (2008) describe best practices for blended learning implementation in higher education. They underscore the need for a seamless connection between the face-to-face and online components in order to ensure a truly blended learning environment. Moreover, they advocate the superimposition of various other pedagogies, as appropriate - lecture, problem-based learning, just-in-time teaching, cooperative learning, and others - on the blended framework."

    "Thus, we arrive at lesson number one for creating blended learning: choose the modality to suit the learning objectives, not the other way around. Always choose the most effective means to teach your learning objectives. If, for example, the material requires working with content, not people, a self-paced module might be perfect. If your audience needs to access the information at their own pace, or at any time, self-paced is a good choice. If coaching is involved, face-to-face may be best. Wikis, threaded discussions, blogs and many other tools can be used. The possibilities are many, but the modality used should fit your learning objectives."

  • At a minimum, blended instructors should allow six months lead time for course development; one year is preferred. Several instructors voiced an opinion that the need for integration and organization necessitates a full course redesign; creating a blended course is not as simple as placing presentation slides or notes online.

  • Our new conception of blended learning is located in heterotopic (Foucault 1984), third space (Bhabha 2004), which does not privilege either the virtual or the physical, the didactic or the dialogic, the classroom or the forum, the private or the social, but recognises that the space for learning is a blend of these and more

  • The paucity of relevant professional development and training opportunities presents another barrier to the growth of blended synchronous learning
  • ack of institutional recognition for the degree of effort involved and cultures that do not encourage risk taking can leave teachers feeling unsupported in their efforts to innovate in this area

  • Some F2F students have suggested that teachers can become overly focused on remote students, prioritising their queries and spending time troubleshooting their technical problems
  • One way to mitigate the load on individual teachers is to employ one or more teaching assistants who can attend to technology-related problems, respond to student text chat comments, and manage other issues not related to the core aspects of the lesso
