Description: This paper discusses the use of 'blended' learning where the use of traditional lectures and tutorials is supplemented, and often replaced to some extent, by new approaches to learning such as computer and on-line simulations, and other interactive on-line packages designed to cover more basic aspects of the curriculum (or provide remedial support) in the students' own time. It reviews some of the reasons for the introduction of blended learning and addresses the potential benefits and some of the potential issues that need to be considered when using innovative teaching strategies in a blended learning setting. The authors draw from examples of their experiences with blended learning. It is argued that new approaches to teaching such as student centred and blended learning offer considerable possibilities to enhance the student experience, but only if proper attention is paid to integrating the 'new' and 'old' aspects of the teaching program, as well as to the development of appropriate administrative systems and support.
