Digital media, technology and traditional in-person teacher-led classroom activities

  Blended learning integrates digital media, technology and traditional in-person teacher-led classroom activities. This hybrid learning technique has become a new trend in education. Please develop the following: 1. What is Blended learning and why it has become a new trend in education? (especially during COVID19). Literature review on these topics. What do scholars say about this? Experts on education are happy with this trend? Are educational institutions (universities...) taking this trend seriously? 2. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have spread the word of Blended learning. How is this happening? Being Twitter one example of ICTs, how is this happening in Twitter specifically? (relation of Twitter comments to the use of hashtag #blendedlearning by Twitter users).
