Blended Learning: The “New Normal” in Education Delivery

Successful blended learning contexts engage students in highly interactive virtual learning environments through a mix of online and face-to-face teaching, learning and assessment modalities. This paper explores some of the affordances and constraints of blended learning for one Higher Education Institution in Ireland. TPACK (Mishra & Koehler, 2006) and Multimodal (Picciano, 2009) models frame the discussion opportunities and challenges more broadly for blended learning instructional and pedagogical design post pandemic in Higher Education.
