“…A blended learning approach is one in which instructors purposefully combine face‐to‐face classroom time with digitally supported, online learning using a broad array of instructional strategies (Nell & Wilkinson, ). Instructors who blend instruction shift their focus from delivering content to unpacking the content for deeper levels of learning (Berrett, ).…”

Three teacher educators who inverted/flipped instruction in their literacy courses describe their experience in this article. Inverted, or flipped, instruction is a blended learning approach that increases opportunities for active engagement in class by moving basic instructor demonstration and presentation outside of class. The authors provide a rationale for inverting instruction and include relevant research that supports it. They also include a sample literacy module before and after inverting it. In addition, both student and instructor benefits to and challenges of inverted instruction are shared. Inverted instruction seemed to allow students to personalize their learning outside of class and affords them greater opportunities to apply and synthesize information during class.

“…There is thus a need to integrate Web training, which makes provision for the ever-changing technologies into the core curriculum of all university courses (cf. Johnson, Smith, Willis, Levine & Haywood, 2011;Nel & Wilkinson, 2008;Vogel, 2010). Renes and Strange (2011:209) recommend the development of digital learning communities to enhance online learning.…”

“…Hayward (2004, in Hochberg, 2006, Nel and Wilkinson (2008) and Doering (2006:198) have found that more universities are utilising hybrid, also known as blended learning environments, which offer a combination of online and face-to-face contact (see Table 2). For a course to be described as hybrid, it has to have between 30-79% of ICT content (Singh, 2012).…”

“…For a course to be described as hybrid, it has to have between 30-79% of ICT content (Singh, 2012). According to Doering (2006), as well as Nel and Wilkinson (2008), the aim of hybrid education is to improve the educational experience of students by joining together the best features of in-class teaching with the best features of online learning to promote active independent learning and reduce class seat time. According to Doering (2006) researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, a leading institution in hybrid course development, found that hybrid courses offer many advantages over face-to-face or completely online courses, including convenience, interaction, flexibility, and increased learning and retention.…”
