Abstract

The sudden outbreak of a deadly disease called COVID-19 caused by a coronavirus shook the entire world and was declared a pandemic. This situation forced lecturers to shift to online mode of teaching. The chapter sought to determine the benefits of blended learning in TVET and establish good practices of its implementation in other countries during pandemics. The challenges in implementing blended learning were determined. Finally, four strategies for blended learning in TVET from a South African post-pandemic perspective were proposed. The systematic literature review revealed that blended learning has to be embraced as the new normal mode of teaching post-pandemic. It was established that for a smooth transition from face-to-face to online learning careful planning, preparation, adaptation, and an appropriate learning space are required. Specific interventions to integrate blended learning principles in programme design and to train TVET lecturers and students in using digital technology are a prerequisite.
