Blended learning provides the flexibility to accommodate the varied requirements of pedagogies, disciplines and levels of course, together with the needs of a wide variety of learners. However, anyone concerned with the integration of online tutoring to support students appropriately may need to reassess current practice. This book adopts a pragmatic and common-sense approach to blended learning by situating the use of online media within a well-grounded teaching and learning strategy. It provides practical ideas for the successful implementation of blended strategies, including good practice in both asynchronous and synchronous tutoring, appropriate assessment design for developing successful blended learners, and innovative approaches to professional development for distance tutors. It is illustrated with a wide variety of examples and comments from students and practitioners in both distance and campus-based environments in 13 different countries. Since the first edition was published in 2006, there has been great interest in Web 2.0 technologies and their potential for use in an educational environment. This second edition has therefore incorporated many new examples of good practice, making use of a combination of tried and tested tools as well as blogs and wikis for supporting students. There has also been a recent rise in the use of activity-based learning and interest in its potential for supporting students in distance and online environments. The new edition incorporates many new exemplars of learning activity design in Part Three, to illustrate approaches to the development of critical, independent learners.

Since the formation of the Side-Saddle Association there has been something of a revival in the horse world and these days side-saddle exponents can be seen not only in the show ring and the hunting field, but also taking part in many other spheres of equestrian activity. Riding establishments offering tuition in the art of riding side-saddle are finding that such classes are increasingly popular, even pupils who have no intention of riding side-saddle regularly tend to join a class to try a new riding experience and often become converts. Contents include the choice of suitable horses and ponies, types of saddles and saddle fitting, clothing, teaching techniques, the posture and seat of the rider at all gaits and over fences, plus an explanation of common problems and some advice on teaching the disabled.
