Blended learning: combination of asynchronous online learning phases and presence phases

Online phases: learning materials (books, papers, report, presentations, etc.), assignments, self-assessment, students forums, wikis, etc.

Presence phases: frontal teaching, case studies, group discussions, small group work and peer review, presentations, guest lectures, etc.
