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.

"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.

Peer assessment and feedback activities give students opportunities to: Internalise the criteria: Assessing someone else's work means understanding and applying the grading criteria, so in the process of peer assessment students get a better understanding of the standard expected of their own work. The more peer assessment they do, the better that understanding will become and they will be better able to evaluate their own work. Learn from examples: Seeing examples of how other people have tackled a task can provide valuable feedback on one's own attempts. Students may pick up tips for how to structure a piece of work, or see some of the pitfalls to avoid. Again, the wider the range of examples reviewed, the more that can be learnt. Receive Feedback: The feedback that students give each other is likely to be different from tutor feedback. Although both should be related to the criteria, students are likely to write their feedback in a different way and may have a clearer understanding of what is really useful at that stage of the process.
