Active learning involves an engagement with the learning materials that is greater than merely passively sitting in a lecture theatre. Blended learning models that include an integration of active face-to-face on-campus learning activities with well-developed online learning activities can assist students to have a more complete learning experience. Student surveys tell us that students themselves want a digital experience to supplement their on-campus learning. Employers have an ever increasing need for graduates with digital literacy skills. Universities are beginning to acknowledge this changing face of higher education delivery. This paper will discuss these issues along with providing steps to ensure that our staff and students are equipped to best take advantage of this new and powerful world that encompasses digital and face-to-face learning.
