Institutions of higher education are implementing Blended Learning (BL) approaches to supplement traditional courses in enhancing students' learning experiences. However, only fewer studies have examined BL acceptance based on the determinants that influence students' perception towards BL integration in improving learning performance.…

The challenges of modern society have led educators to reconceptualize formal learning spaces, into flexible spaces, imbued with technologies and active methodologies. To achieve this goal, a course was developed in an in-service teacher education Master program to support teachers in developing learning scenarios for innovative learning…
