Reviews & Statements

Scholars of education and finance describe a model for teaching and learning in emerging economies that uses blended learning initiatives, adaptations, and barriers. They explain how the blended learning approach can benefit students, faculty, universities, and countries as a whole. Their topics include introducing a teaching innovation to enhance students' analytical and research skills, shifting a face-to-face course to the blended environment, adopting blended learning technologies in selected secondary schools in Cameroon and Nigeria, the possibility of improving the learning and teaching of English as a second language in the Zimbabwean high school, and barriers to blended teaching and learning in Sub-Saharan Africa.
