  • 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."

  • In contrast, in terms of how much time students spend actually going about some kind of learning activity, it is nearly always time out of class that makes most demands, and yet what that learning is intended to consist of, or what it is for, may receive least attention of all from their teachers. As they design a course, or as they think about how well it is going, teachers tend to look at some components but not others. Their course evaluation questionnaire may list all the classroom teaching sessions, and perhaps students’ attendance at them, but none of the things students were supposed to have done out of class, or how much effort they put in.
  • Without clear goals, it is argued, it is impossible to design a coherent course. But my experience is that nearly all courses nowadays have stated learning outcomes and they are still often incoherent in terms of the educational processes involved.
  • But I believe that you need a sense of what students are supposed to be doing, not just where they are heading. In an integrated course what students do, and what they are learning to do, are often the same thing.

    A great case for cohesive design of the entirety of a course.

  • 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.

    * Practice Testing - Rather than recapping previous material, informally test students on it - Require students to actively participate in learning (cf. partnerships) * Distributed Practice - Better to get students to recall material over time rather than have a single revision session - Make revision an integral part of a course, throughout its delivery
