Abstract
Due to budget constraints and student growth, educators are looking for innovative ways to deliver quality higher education. In the last few years, blended learning has emerged not only as a cost-effective educational option, but also as an educational method superior to the traditional classroom. Blended learning is a combination of the traditional face-to-face classroom model and online learning content. Research from premier journals indicates blended learning offers the benefits of being cost effective, allowing for more flexible student schedules, and catering to a wider variety of learning styles. Student and teacher feedback on blended learning experiences is very positive, and researchers predict universities will continue to implement blended learning courses. Recommendations for successfully implementing blended learning courses at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs are discussed within the report.
