An engaging presentation on management approaches in blended learning was presented by Dr Tony Murphy, at the most recent edition of the SoELL Education Research and Doctoral Seminar Series on 20 March.

Drawing from his doctoral research, Dr Murphy, Head of Lifelong Learning at the School of Education and Lifelong Learning (SoELL), provided insights into the particulars of managing blended learning courses within higher education institutions.

Reflecting on his presentation, Dr Murphy remarked, “Understanding the nuances of management approaches in blended learning is crucial for enhancing educational practices within HEIs.”
