The 2022 Online Learning Consortium (OLC) Blended Learning Symposium was a response to the events of the past decade, such as an absence of a concerted blended learning program, the pandemic, flagging student interest in higher education, technology's explosive development, and pressures to reconsider what constitutes a responsive and effective university. Primarily, however, the symposium chronicled in this report is future-oriented, illustrating that long-held educational value systems need reconsideration. This work is a metaphoric Rosetta Stone codifying ideas of the most forward-thinking and thoughtful educators in the blended learning space. Learning independently offline or online is no longer a viable concept. The report makes it clear that interaction among learning spaces and people is the new blended paradigm.
