Summary/Abstract: Higher education is currently facing a diversity of challenges, among which the evolution of new learning environment and the characteristics of new learners are milestones. New competences and roles are required from the academic staff in higher education, and in order to cope with them, more structured, yet flexible training opportunities are needed. Giving a blended learning approach to these training contexts would increase also capacity of university teachers to design and provide themselves blended learning experiences to their students.
