Blended Learning Article

Well some good news,

Dave snow and myself have had an article published this month in the Training Journal.

I have included the abstract below and if any students want to read the full article , I believe that you can access it through the John Rylands Library using the Athens Authentication Service.

Stefano Ghazzali and David Snow explore the use of blended learning to improve student success at Manchester Business School

While traditional teaching methods have the advantage of continuous face-to-face interaction and support, they require physical infrastructure, academic availability, and structural curricula. Online learning, on the other hand, enables students to learn at their own pace, irrespective of locality and time. They can feel isolated and unmotivated, however, due to the lack of any face-to-face contact, or interaction with peers. A blended learning approach offers the best of both worlds with face-to-face tutoring support, and the ability to work with the content and to communicate with one’s peers online.


I welcome any comments
