  • Blended learning 2.0 incorporates emerging web technologies such as mobile learning, game-based learning / gamification, and social media;
  • this term is close to, but not synonymous with: hybrid learning, which combines synchronous face-to-face, synchronous remote and asynchronous remote activities.
