BLENDED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION: AN APPROACH, A MODEL, AND TWO THEORETICAL FRAMEWORKS

Abstract

In the last 2 years Higher Education Institutions around the world were forced to make the transition to online and now evaluate and recalculate mistakes, successes and opportunities to continue or adapt teaching to Blended Learning methodology, since going back to what was in the past no longer seems to be a viable path. This paper, through a literature review, is a first approach within the concept and the theoretical frameworks that make Blended Learning a possibility and a strong ally to promote meaningful Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. Subsequently, it is planned to carry out a systematic bibliographic analysis in order to go a step further and identify the main challenges and opportunities that Blended Learning brings to Teaching and Learning in Higher Education in the (post) pandemic context.
