WelcomeThe Blended Learning Unit (BLU) is located within the Faculty of Health and Human Sciences. This website is intended to provide an overview of the work of the BLU and the range of services and support the BLU offers programme teams and individuals in integrating e-learning approaches and learning technologies into their teaching practice.
NetworksThe website also provides links to key sites and resources that are being developed within education, health and social care and human sciences. These sites promote and support research, the application and evaluation of e-learning by providing both theoretical frameworks, models and practical resources.
