Blended Learning is a fundamental redesign that transforms the structure of, and approach to, teaching and learning. The key assumptions of a blended learning design are:

• Thoughtfully integrating face-to-face and online learning

• Fundamentally rethinking the course design to optimize student engagement

• Restructuring and replacing traditional class contact hours

(Garrison & Vaughan, 2008, 5)
