California Group Publishes Report Defining "Blended Learning."

Education Week (5/18, Ash) reports that amid confusion over the definition of "blended learning," "which describes a mix of face-to-face and online learning," a California group called Innosight Institute is issuing a report intended "to clear up the confusion and provide a working definition of blended learning, along with a framework for mapping and defining blended-learning models. The report also profiles 40 different blended-learning organizations that are currently supporting 48 different models of blended-learning environments, and it describes six different models that such programs fit into."
