28. September 2006ADEE Cracow, Nikos Mattheos The term blended-learning is ill-defined and inconsistenly used. Whilst its popularity is increasing, its clarity is not. Building research around this term becomes an impossible project, since without a common concept of its meaning there can be no coherent way of synthesising the findings of studies, let alone developing a consistent theoretical framework. Oliver M (London) & Trigwell K (Oxford) 2005 Oliver M, Trigwell K. Can blended learning be redeemed? E-learning, Vol2, Nr1, 2005.
