Abstract

There is currently a movement in education institutions towards blended learning (BL). The integration of technology in the classroom is likely to be the defining transformative innovation for education in the 21st century. As BL is used more extensively in K–12 schools, educators must develop specialized skills for teaching in blended environments. For the purpose of this study, Cooperative learning (CL) is proposed as a BL strategy. CL is an approach that involves a small group of students working together as a team to solve a problem, complete a task, or accomplish a common goal. The combined blended learning model was developed from a synthesis of BL design models and can be used as a design tool when creating a cooperative-blended learning environment.
