Photo by Sylwia Bartyzel on Unsplash Here are some further thoughts on the 'blend' in blended learning: Blends are made of disparate elements. Elements are often separated by boundaries, and these must be transgressed if blends are to be effected. In other words, we need to bring elements together that might not naturally co-exist.

In 1962, in his book The Gutenberg Galaxy , media theorist Marshall McLuhan popularised the term ''Global Village'' as a description of global contraction through proliferation of electronic technology. In 1962, technology use was minimal in comparison to today''s ubiquitous global digital capabilities. What is a village?

As we develop personal expertise, and begin to practice it in applied contexts, we need to connect with global communities. Scholars who are not connected into the global community are increasingly isolated and will in time be left behind as the world of education advances ever onward. Thirdly, learning needs to be globalised.

We now take it for granted that we can upload and share photos and videos, text chat in real time, see and hear each other, or play games together in the same online social space, across vast distances. Distance does not seem to be an issue any more, and research is unearthing evidence for what was already common knowledge.

Global environmental stability, overpopulation and food production, economic crises, mass conflict, pandemics, and other even more serious and yet to emerge threats to humankind, will not go away when those currently in leadership are no longer around. We owe it to them to offer them as many chances as we can to make sense of the future.

Learning is also changing because we can contribute to knowledge on a global scale. Now passive learning has been replaced by active participation within global communities, and the ability to create, share, repurpose and organise vast amounts of knowledge content. It hasn't always been like this. We can also manipulate context.
