摘要:Abstract Blended learning research and practice have been areas of growth for two decades in Canada, with over 95% of Canadian higher education institutions involved in some form of blended learning. Despite strong evidence based research and practice blended learning, for the most part, has remained at sidelined in Canadian universities. The article argues the need for blended learning to situate itself within the timely and crucial Higher Education Reform (HER) agenda. By aligning the affordances of blended learning with the components of HER, blended learning can clearly serve as an enabler for HER.
