Blended

At TU Dublin, the definition of a Blended module is:

Blended Learning is the pedagogically-informed fusing of coherently sequenced, synchronous and asynchronous, teaching, learning and assessment experiences, that occur through a pre-planned mix of in-person on-campus, and online, contexts over the duration of a module. There can be varying degrees of in-person on-campus versus online teaching, learning and assessment experiences designed and delivered from module to module. Students cannot choose their modality, rather each experience is offered in one mode only and all of the students engage with each scheduled experience together.

It is also stipulated that academic staff will provide clear communications to students on this mode of delivery in advance of the module start date. This mode of delivery will be adhered to consistently over the duration of the module. No ad hoc changes to the mode of delivery will be made mid-module (notwithstanding the need for flexibility to adapt to unforeseen circumstances).
