A Model for the Identification of Challenges to Blended Learning
Draffan, E. A.; Rainger, Peter
ALT-J: Research in Learning Technology, v14 n1 p55-67 Mar 2006
A model for an inclusive approach to the identification of challenges to blended learning as a means to identify educational accessibility issues is presented. By focusing on both the learner and teacher perspectives, the model encompasses a broad range of factors, including learner characteristics, learning and teaching environments, interactions and activities. The proposed model provides a starting point for the identification of challenges to learning from a socio-cultural perspective rather than a medical or rehabilitation perspective. This holistic perspective is key to moving "thinking" towards a more inclusive learning approach that embraces the needs of all learners, regardless of a defined disability. (Contains 1 table, 3 figures and 5 notes.)
