Undoubtedly, Blended Learning is a magnificent concept for education making the student more responsible and focused on results and the use of technology. I have taken 2 previous courses and each one complements the other and bring us to a new and more advanced level.
This one happened to be quite demanding, but it was a pleasure to complete what was asked to fulfill.
For those interested in updated and more recent education, the series is A MUST and a good way to remain in the spearhead, state-of-art idea of how to educate people and making them responsible for their own academic progress. -
