Teaching English studies through blended learning

Sharing good practice 

 

Academics using blended learning often do so in partial isolation. Even colleagues teaching in the same 

department may not be aware of innovative work that is going on. Departments and institutions need to have 

mechanisms in place to ensure that good practice is shared and that successful examples of blended learning 

are identified. This is also true at a national level, and is more of a challenge now that the English Subject 

Centre (ESC) has been closed. Some useful online resources include:
