Online can offer a very rich virtual workspace in which interactions can occur among students in real time or through discussion boards. Students have reported appreciating the flexibility and convenience of being able to work in their own time and location, and fitting this around the demands of, for example, childcare. The flexibility offered in a blended learning approach may also foster a sense of autonomy – the learners can, on many levels, plan their own learning and take an increased responsibility for this. We aim to develop independent, autonomous, lifelong learners – it may signify that this approach can assist in the achievement of this.
