"The chapters are indeed easy to read and contain plenty of valuable information, and the time taken in my busy schedule to absorb details remained practical. ... Using blended learning is full of tables, figures and diagrams that illustrate their findings. ... you will find it a valuable addition to your professional library." (Diane P. Janes, British Journal of Educational Technology, Vol. 46 (3), 2015)
