Blended Synchronous Learning article published open access in Computers & Education

[Lee, Mark]

Dear colleagues,

We have just published an article in the journal Computers & Education on blended synchronous learning, which involves enabling remote students to participate in live, face-to-face (campus-based) classes by means of rich-media synchronous technologies such as video conferencing, web conferencing, or virtual worlds.

We have taken up the journal’s open access option, which has allowed the article to be released under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs (BY-NC-ND) license. The article, which reports on outcomes from a collective case study involving seven discipline-based implementations of blended synchronous learning at Australian universities, can be downloaded free of charge at the following URL:

Please feel free to share this with others who you think might be interested. More information about the Blended Synchronous Learning project, including instructions on how to become part of our Collaborator Network, can be found at http://blendsync.org .

Kind regards,
