Tackling Blended Learning at the Department of English in Kosovska Mitrovica

The introduction of blended learning approach at the University of Pristina in Kosovska Mitrovica was organized within the Tempus BLATT project (530266-TEMPUS-1-2012-XK-TEMPUS-JPCR). The primary goals of going hybrid at the Department of English Language and Literature in Kosovska Mitrovica are to ensure the continuity of learning at a displaced university, as well as to facilitate student centered learning.
The aim of this paper is twofold. Primarily, it will describe the process of piloting a blended course at the Department by outlining a supplemental model of blended learning. It will provide a step by step account of how the implementation was accomplished with emphasis on the learning platform, coupled with a discussion on the challenges and possible solutions. Secondly, the paper will present the results of the pre and post course analysis.
