The document discusses blended learning, which combines online learning tools, technology tools like tablets and digital whiteboards, and face-to-face instruction to allow students to access instruction and learning anytime through multiple devices. It specifically focuses on using iPads for blended learning, noting they were chosen over other tablets due to their cost effectiveness, wide range of educational apps, existing research on their use for learning, networking capabilities, intuitiveness, and size.

to help us learn.
“Blended Learning is a pedagogical approach
facilitated by a teacher where students have some
control over their learning; and the teacher
seamlessly incorporates the use of online learning
tools (online collaboration, blogs, etc.), technology
tools (computers, tablets, digital white boards,
cameras, etc.) and face-to-face instruction so that
instruction and learning can be accessed at any
time by the student through multiple electronic
devices.”
(Darrow, 2012)
