The four challenges identified were; the expectation that fewer classes meant less work, inadequate time, management skills, problems with accepting responsibility for personal learning and difficulty with more sophisticated technologies.
•From a faculty perspective, the key challenges of teaching in a blended format are: the time commitment, lack of support of course redesign, difficulty in acquiring new teaching and technology skills and the risk factors associated with this type of courses.
