What is it about?
The term "blended learning" (BL) has won wide acceptance, although the definitions differ widely. This conceptual paper is not a new definition attempt but a try to see BL as the integration of ICTs in higher education in a time and process perspective (synchronous-asynchronous) instead of in some place perspective (campus-distance, classroom-online, here-there). BL thereby becomes both more classical teaching-leanring and the power of ICTs helps to better adaption to teachers and learners.

Why is it important?
The term blended learning is almost empty of content, but seems to tell us something about the integration of new ICTs in an older pattern of teaching and learning. The paper is one of the first with this time perspective, and maybe the most theorized.
Perspectives
The paper has been mostly cited for it's expression of blended leanring as "the new normal". The paper is the main paper of a doctgorla dissertation 2017 (From blended learning to learning onlife - ICTs time and access to higher education) where other perspectives also are added.
