Collaborative teaching approaches: Extending current blended learning models

Abstract

This study reviewed Horn and Staker’s framework of blended learning and addressed the need for categorizing recently initiated collaborative teaching approaches to blended learning. Due to the rapid pace of technological development, this study proposed an expansion of the currently accepted blended learning model to include three newly emerged joint teaching models: (1) on-site leadership, (2) off-site leadership, and (3) co-teaching. Through a series of case study analyses, best practices and strategic opportunities for each new model were discussed.
