Does the combination of these delivery methods/learning modalities alter best practices? Does blended learning increase standardized test scores amongst K-12 students? With seat time remaining largely unaffected by blended learning in K-12, is there still an increase in sense of engagement in a community of inquiry in this setting? With students becoming increasingly tech savvy, should the balance percentage between online and face-to-face delivery shift?

1. In the discussion thread, describe a study that should be done on the topic of blended learning in the K-12 setting. Choose a study whose findings would be valuable and informative for districts implementing blended courses in K-12. 2. Optional: In the same thread, describe the engagement level of students (child or adult) in a blended learning opportunity you have conducted or participated in.
