The changing nature of both the student body and available technologies have required academics to change their approaches to teaching to gain improved learning outcomes (Hativa & Goodyear, 2001). Academics who have commonly taught in a face-to-face environment are under pressure to embed ICTs into their face-to-face teaching and to work in blended and online modes. The literature is inconsistent in describing blended learning largely because it has been enacted in practice in a variety of ways. Blended learning may also be known as flexible learning, mixed mode, or hybrid delivery. Elliot Masie (2002)defined blended learning as ―the use of two or more distinct methods of training‖ (p. 59). In their publication which examined the extent and quality of online education in the United States, Allen and Seaman (2003)quantified a blended course as ―having between 30% and 80% of the course content delivered online‖ and an online course as one where ―at least 80% of the course content [is] delivered online‖
