somehow attributed to the characteristics of each of the environments. There also seemed to be a difference in how each term was
used from continent to continent which could also imply that there
was a difference in usage from country to country. There were some
respondents from the continent of Asia who grouped “blended
learning” and “e-learning” as the same. This created a situation
whereby the authors did not think that introducing the term blended
learning would have added to the challenges in finding clear
delineations for each of the terms; this seemingly added to the lack
of consistency found in the use of the terms.
