Blended learning mulai dikenal setelah ditemukan kelemahan pada pertemuan tatap muka dan kelemahan pada online learning oleh Bersin pada penelitiannya tahun 2004. Selanjutnya, dikembangkan pembelajaran yang mengombinasikan pertemuan tatap muka dan online learning yang kemudian dikenal dengan istilah blended learning. Blended learning dikembangkan dengan berbagai model, yaitu face-to-face driver model, rotation model, flex model, online lab model, self-blend model, dan driver model online. Pada setiap model tersebut, metode diskusi masiv digunakan oleh pendidik dalam memfasilitasi pembelajar untuk menyelesaikan masalah dan meningkatkan keterampilan berpikir tingkat tinggi. Metode diskusi dalam blended learning ini diterapkan mulai dari pendidikan dasar, pendidikan menengah, dan pendidikan tinggi. Metode diskusi dipilih dalam blended learning karena memiliki rangkaian aktivitas belajar yang memberikan kesempatan kepada pembelajar untuk terlibat secara aktif. Dalam perspektif pembelajar Abad 21, pembelajaran seharusnya bersifat konstruktivis yang bermakna bahwa dengan partisipasi pembelajar secara aktif pada setiap kegiatan yang relevan dengan tujuan pembelajaran dapat membantu pembelajar membangun pengetahuan dan pengalaman baru. Buku yang ada pada tangan pembaca saat ini, memaparkan konsep, prinsip, dan prosedur berdiskusi, dan formulasi standar kualitas diskusi dalam blended learning. Buku ini ditulis berdasarkan hasil penelitian selama 2 tahun yang didukung oleh artikel ilmiah yang relevan baik nasional maupun internasional. Buku ini sangat bermanfaat bagi pendidik dan pembelajar baik pada pendidikan dasar, menengah, dan tinggi sebagai upaya mengoptimalkan kegiatan diskusi dalam blended learning

Learning environments continue to change considerably and is no longer confined to the face-to-face classroom setting. As learning options have evolved, educators must adopt a variety of pedagogical strategies and innovative technologies to enable learning. Practical Applications and Experiences in K-20 Blended Learning Environments compiles pedagogical strategies and technologies and their outcomes that have been successfully applied in blended instruction. Highlighting best practices as elementary, secondary, and tertiary educational levels; this book is a vital tool for educators who teach or plan to teach in blended learning environments and for researchers interested in the area of blended education knowledge.

Schedule constraints and other complicating factors can make face-to-face educational methods inadequate to the needs of learners. Thus, blended learning has emerged as a compromise that reconciles the need for high-tech and high-touch learning and teaching interactions. Transcultural Blended Learning and Teaching in Postsecondary Education educates readers across nations and cultures and strengthens their understanding of theories, models, research, applications, best practices, and emerging issues related to blended learning and teaching through a holistic and transcultural perspective. This research volume serves as a valued resource for faculty, administrators, and leaders in postsecondary institutions to plan, develop, implement, and evaluate blended learning programs and courses. It also provides researchers with the latest research in transcultural blended learning and teaching theories, findings, best practices, and emerging trends.

Blended learning has gained significant attention recently by educational leaders, practitioners, and researchers. i²Flex, a variation of blended learning, is based on the premise that certain non-interactive teaching activities, such as lecturing, can take place by students without teachers’ direct involvement. Classroom time can then be used for educational activities that fully exploit teacher-student and student-student interactions, allowing for meaningful personalized feedback and scaffolding on demand. Revolutionizing K-12 Blended Learning through the i²Flex Classroom Model presents a well-rounded discussion on the i²Flex model, highlighting methods for K-12 course design, delivery, and evaluation in addition to teacher performance assessment in a blended i²Flex environment. Emphasizing new methods for improving the classroom and learning experience in addition to preparing students for higher education and careers, this publication is an essential reference source for pre-service and in-service teachers, researchers, administrators, and educational technology developers.

Active blended learning (ABL) is a pedagogical approach that combines sensemaking activities with focused interactions in appropriate learning settings. ABL has become a great learning tool as it is easily accessible online, with digitally rich environments, close peer and tutor interactions, and accommodations per individual learner needs. It encompasses a variety of concepts, methods, and techniques, such as collaborative learning, experiential learning, problem-based learning, team-based learning, and flipped classrooms. ABL is a tool used by educators to develop learner autonomy, engaging students in knowledge construction, reflection, and critique. In the current educational climate, there is a strong case for the implementation of ABL. Cases on Active Blended Learning in Higher Education explores strategies and methods to implement ABL in higher education. It will provide insights into teaching practice by describing the experiences and reflections of academics from around the world. The chapters analyze enablers, barriers to engagement, outcomes, implications, and recommendations to benefit from ABL in different contexts, as well as associated concepts and models. While highlighting topics such as personalized university courses, remote service learning, team-based learning, and universal design, this book is ideal for in-service and preservice teachers, administrators, instructional designers, teacher educators, practitioners, researchers, academicians, and students interested in pedagogical approaches aligned to ABL and how this works in higher education institutions.
