The swedish digital learning expert Stefan Hrastinski correctly remarked, that “the term blended learning is used frequently, but there is ambiguity about what is meant”. In a narrow sense, the term can be used to merely describe “the thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face learning experiences with online learning experiences” whilst others see blended learning as “an umbrella term that describes the use of technology in education”.

Given the vast range of opportunities for digital solutions, it is obviously not wise to limit the scope of the blended implementation of Multilogues to the narrow sense of the term. Instead, inspiration will be gained from what the European University Association has coined “Digitally Enhanced Learning and Teaching”, which it defines as “any type of learning or teaching accompanied or supported by technology”.

While both on-site and completely digital learning formats are relatively easy to manage, a blended environment which combines both can be more demanding and more prone to accidents than either one. In the end, it can be argued that the benefits of the blended Multilogue experience – the chance to gather a more diverse and inclusive group and thereby create a better learning experience for everyone involved – clearly outweigh the difficulties and potential pitfalls.
