Blended learning research, explained
7 open-access blended learning studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Does half the classroom time hurt flexible learners?
A flexible blended business programme with about half the on-site time showed essentially equivalent exam performance to part-time peers.
- Case-based hybrid teaching in postgraduate CS
In a postgraduate digital image processing course, student-centered case-based online–offline teaching yielded significantly better exam scores than traditional or weakly integrated case approaches.
- How does choosing to attend lectures online or in person affect grades?
Choosing to watch lecture recordings instead of attending in person has almost no impact on students' final exam grades, provided they stick to a consistent study routine.
- Does live chat help online and blended students ask for help?
Psychology students in both online and blended modes liked live chat for just-in-time help; online learners were especially positive.
- Self-report and traces of blended SRL
In a blended computer-systems course, self-report and LMS-trace clustering both revealed coherent SRL profiles that aligned with online activity and course performance.
- Sense of community in blended courses
In three Dutch blended courses, teachers and students described how teaching, social, and cognitive presence activities—often via flipped design—shaped a sense of community.
- What makes blended learning work for marginalized students?
Students in JWL blended programs rated intention and satisfaction highest among success factors, informing criteria for connected higher education at the margins.
