In my teaching experience I have been using the digital materials as the supplementary tools only. Now I know it is the past stage in your countries. The Blended Learning is the learning process when it`s another part is moved online. Generally, it`s the juxtaposition of the traditional classroom with the computer-mediated activities.
It`s clear for me that when blending the students` interaction and satisfaction improves a lot and what is more, one can see the speedier performance was detected on real world tasks by those who learned through blended learning.
I have no idea how to blend right now but as I think it depends on the learning content, needs of the students and of the teacher`s preferences.
