We have both been involved in various aspects of
distance and e-learning for over 15 years in a
variety of corporate and academic settings.
Since 1997, our work at Royal Roads University
in Victoria, Canada, has facilitated a true
action research laboratory for delivering
e-learning and traditional classroom based
coursework (blended learning) in effective and
meaningful ways to mid career professionals.
Our Blended Learning Research Report draws on a
range of experiences to provide some insight
into blended learning; our own personal
experiences, experiences reported in the
literature and experiences gathered from our
colleagues. We present a brief review of the
current thinking around the characteristics and
effectiveness of a blended approach to learning
and then go on to describe our own research and
a model for the development of blended learning
that evolved from it.
We hope you find this research report useful and
informative. We would welcome any feedback.

We've had some requests for taking LearningEdge
to other parts of Canada at different times from
our scheduled workshops. If you can get 6
people interested, we'll travel to you! Or,
feel free to let us know you are interested but
can't attend a current offering and we'll do our

| What's New? |
 |

We've been a bit slow getting this month's Muse
out but we have good reason. We took a bit of a
break over Christmas.Tammy is now busy at Royal
Roads University teaching in their MBA program.
Meanwhile, Dave has been packing up things in
Glasgow and moving to Canada. Becoming a
permanent resident is very exciting but requires
attention to an awful lot of details.
