In my view it is the use of a mix of online teaching tools and channels to enhance learning, as well as facilitate novel approaches to teaching. I currently use VLE as my main blended learning platform, and within the VLE I use a combination of teaching and support materials such as videos, web links, handbooks, PPT slides, etc. As programme manager I also encourage my MA Design students from day one to use skills@library resources, as this is another excellent supporting tool for my led-research teaching.

I believe that blended learning goes beyond teaching with a mixture of online and face-to-face resources. It includes a whole range of spoken, textual and audiovisual tools that we can use in our teaching to recognise the diversity of learners that we have in our groups. In my modules, I like to use a range of films and documentaries or radio programmes available through BoB - http://it.leeds.ac.uk/info/201/a-z_of_software/752/box_of_broadcasts_bob - or the library to encourage discussion both in face-to-face seminars and through the discussion board on the VLE.

My understanding of bleneded learning is that it integrates both classroom-based pedagogy/activities with autonomous/on-line activities. The aim behind it is to provide students with more opportunity to learn autonomously/with other students in an engaing and interactive way.
I've used the VLE discussion board with both undergraduate and postgraduate students, but apart from that haven't really used other online blended learnin tools.

For me, blended learning is about integrating digital learning technologies and online resources into classroom teaching and learning activities. I haven't explicitly incorporated any blended learning into my teaching although I teach on a course with a group assessment element and where students tend to make use of WhatsApp, Dropbox and Google Drive to work collaboratively.

Integrating face2face with online learning - designing learning opportunities that play to the strengths of both modes. I have enjoyed reading and responding to short blogs published by new teachers to share their practices and thoughts on reading educational literature.

Learning through a combination of classroom and online/digital techniques.  In addition to using the VLE for online resources & project blogs, we use 3rd party resources to support our lab based activities.  One example is the use of the MBED platform for developing software for embedded digital systems.  This allows students to access code examples, develop their project work and documentation, and to share their work for assessment. By combining this with face-to-face lab demonstration, the students can access learning resources online and in person at the same time.

Blended learning combines different methodologies, including the use of digital technologies and traditional face-to-face classroom methods to deliver and support learning.

I understand blended learning to be the use of a complementary combination of remote and classroom based approaches to learning. The remote (likely to be online) aspect might be used for providing input (eg flipped classroom) or for student output and in particular student collaboration. I have recently started to use shared files on One Drive to encourage students to work together, which might be on brainstorming ideas for a project/presentation, sharing ideas from what they've read, or creating pieces of collaborative writing. If I want to see what they are doing I create the shared files myself, which allows me to follow the process, and helps me identify areas we might need to look at in a face-to-face session. I have done similar things with padlet, although I find it a little unwieldy for some activities.

Blended learning is the use of both online and classroom resources for teaching, preferably so that they complement and supplement each other. As many other people who have posted here have done, I've got my students to complete VLE journals. My decision to use them was partly based on an oddity of my module's timetabling. The film screening was timetabled for after the seminar, so I asked students to post their reactions to the film in the journal. But I actually like the way that it gives students a chance to reflect on what they've studied that week and receive feedback from me, so I've decided to keep it as a feature of the module.

"Blended learning" is the practice of mixing online digital teaching with more traditional approaches. The online content can be used to allow students to prepare prior to traditional teaching, reinforce learning, or to provide additional material. The approach should permit students to take ownership of their learning, but my experience of this approach to date has been mixed at best.

# data[].attributes.body
Blended learning to me is the use of online resources, as one of the tools amongst others, to facilitate learning. I have used the VLE journal as an assessment of students engagement with the content of one module. Students were required to post their reflections and were given feedback on their responses.

Blended learning to me means incorporating online tools to enhance and complement learning. I have no experience of using this approach, but looking forward to learning more.

Blended learning gives students the opportunity to engage in a mixture of face-to-face and online learning activities.

UKPSF@Leeds participants have the option of watching lecture captured recordings of support sessions or attending these sessions in person (or both!).

Blended learning can mean all sorts of things. One tool I've found effective is the VLE journal. In one module requiring personal reflective writing, I've found the combination of online journal and in-person workshops really effective for both academic and pastoral support. Some students seem to find voicing concerns and issues easier in an online space, which I can pick up on in seminars and workshops.

There are so many ways students can learn. A blended approach provides a wide variety of opportunities for the learner to engage with the material in ways which may suit them best; face to face (synchronous) and online (asynchronous - at times to suit the learner.)
I distribute a link to recordings of Blackboard Collaborate sessions for learners to access and review when they choose.

The 'blend' refers to a balance between face-to-face and online delivery and content.

I like using wikis to extend collaborative activites beyond the classroom

I see blended learning as an opportunity to enhance student learning through increased engagement by employing technology when relevant.

I have used Yammer in the past with learners to facilitate a community of practice.
