“Blended learning” methods, the combination of a variety of learning media (face-to-face, online, print, mobile, etc) and learning environments (instructor-led, teamwork, peer-to-peer interaction, self-study and individual work), may enable moreopportunities for application and support to learners than traditional approaches.

Design must be very well-thought-through before execution
Consider the specific target audience Facilitators have less control than in face-to-
