This document discusses the Blended Learning Consortium (BLC), which provides high-quality interactive e-learning content developed by UK colleges to its member institutions. It shares statistics on student interactions and outcomes using BLC content. Membership allows colleges to leverage shared resources and costs to develop over 1400 hours of content across many subject areas. Feedback shows students find the content easy to understand and helpful for their studies. The BLC aims to continue growing its membership nationally and internationally to further collaborative digital learning.

- 8. Ofsted 2018 “Learners benefit from good resources and facilities, teachers make effective use of information learning technology (ILT) to engage and motivate learners.”
- 9. Ofsted 2018 “Most teachers skillfully use a broad range of resources and ILT, both to enliven learning in the classroom and to enable learners and apprentices to access learning resources when undertaking independent study at home or at work.”
- 10. Ofsted 2018 “The large majority of teachers are adept and skilled at using the college’s virtual learning environment to enrich and enliven learning both within lessons, and when learners are working independently to carry out research outside the classroom. Most learners report that they enjoy this style of learning; they feel that, as well as being an effective way to learn, it helps them extend their learning and develop the self-discipline they need to be successful when they progress to the next level of learning, university or employment.”
