Campus Technology: "Tuning the blend" is a phrase that educators hear a lot these days. No, it doesn't refer to how the barista at the local coffeehouse mixes his arabica and robusta beans. It refers instead to finding the correct balance of online activities and face-to-face instruction in hybrid--or blended--courses. As with a skilled barista, though, there is definitely an element of art involved. Finding a mix that meets the needs of both faculty and students requires experimentation, experience, and constant tweaking. And, as with coffee, the same blend is not going to hit the spot for everyone. Schools must be prepared to tune the blend on a course-by-course basis.
