Blended learning is used to incorporate technology into the classroom and to aid in instruction. This literature review examines the effects of blended learning on student engagement, student achievement, and student perception in K-12th grade classrooms. Twenty-five peer-reviewed studies published between 2008 and 2016 were selected for analysis in this review. The reviewed research indicates ...

A blended diet for enteral nutrition is defined as home-made everyday food blended to a smooth 'single cream' consistency. At present, blended food is not recommended as a first choice. However, the wishes of parents who prefer to use blended food for their child need to be respected, and hospice policy for Children's Hospice South West is to replicate home conditions as far as possible. Theref...

This paper attempts to explore and critically compare the various definitions given to blended learning, primarily within the area of Higher Education. It starts with a general description of blended learning and its main characteristics, along with the reasons underlying its popularity and the criticism against it. The concepts of ‘blended learning’ and ‘blended teaching’ are compared and cont...

Hybrid light emitting diodes (LEDs) based on zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods and polymers (single and blended) are fabricated and characterized. The ZnO nanorods were grown by the chemical bath deposition method at 50 o C. Three different LEDs, either with blue emitting, orange-red emitting or their blended polymer together with ZnO nanorods were fabricated and studied. The current-voltage characteri...

BACKGROUND computer-aided learning (CAL) is increasingly used to deliver teaching, but few studies have evaluated its impact on learning within geriatric medicine. We developed and implemented CAL packages on falls and continence, and evaluated their effect on student performance in two medical schools. METHODS traditional ward based and didactic teaching was replaced by blended learning (CAL...

In recent years, higher-education has started to introduce blended-learning schemes in the language learning curricula. The evaluation of this kind of scheme has two important aspects: the design of the resources and the delivery of the courses. The use of specialised tools makes both of these aspects easier. This study focuses on the evaluation of an e-language learning scheme undertaken at th...

Web-based or “online” learning commonly known as e-Learning which makes use of internet technologies has been widely used by many education institutions around the globe. Higher education institutions have been using Learning Management system (LMS) as a part of their campus-based and distance teaching. To date, very little research has been carried out to investigate whether the uses of LMS ac...

LAMS WZiEU project began in 2006. The biggest challenge of adopting an e-learning environment was the methodological and electronic development of chosen parts of the Computer Science subject and transferring didactic content delivered by traditional methods into e-learning language. As is shown from the executed analysis, the general rating of efficiency and quality of blended learning was twi...

Blended learning in a classroom setting serves multiple purposes of helping students and teachers learn from experts in a field. However, it is challenging to design sustainable implementations of such paradigms in developing countries. For example, most schools in developing countries do not have the technology infrastructure required to implement such approaches. This paper presents a unique ...

ICT or Information and Communication Technology has pervaded the fields of education. In recent years the term “e-learning” has emerged as a result of the integration of ICT in the education fields. Following the application this technology into teaching, some pitfalls have been identified and this have led to the “Blended learning” phenomenon. However, the preference on this new method has bee...
