ABSTRACT

Blended learning has been described as learning ‘that is facilitated by the effective combination of different modes of delivery, models of teaching and styles of learning, and founded on transparent communication amongst all parties involved with a course’. 1 However, to ensure inclusive and accessible learning experiences that meet any challenges to the acquisition of knowledge, development of skills and experience, it is also important to take into account the full spectrum of learner characteristics. These include physical, sensory and perceptual skills, abilities, attitudes and prior knowledge.
