Student satisfaction is a key factor in evaluating quality in a BL experience, and in this respect students demand that the design of BL subjects or courses include the following features (del Moral and Villalustre 2009): a clear definition of learning goals; hierarchical, contextualised and consistently structured presentation of contents; diverse individual and group activities; a thorough account of assessment criteria in keeping with the goals set; and the creation of windows for individual tutoring.
2009). It has been shown that students have a positive predisposition towards BL and high expectations as to its potential for enhancing learning (Area et al. 2008; Cabero and Llorente 2009). And that, furthermore, using BL has positive effects in reducing the dropout rate from university subjects and on learning outcomes. Including BL learning activities has positive effects on students’ final grades. And BL tasks enrich face-to-face activities without needing to wholly replace them (López et al.
Finally universities that have reached the “growth” stage offer BL courses fully integrated and mainstreamed in their academic offering, and work on continuous improvement through systematic assessment and data mining, which helps them to take strategic internal decisions. As to the key features of developing BL in higher education, Garrison and Vaughan (2013) highlight: (a) fully re-conceptualising and redesigning the subject or course, (b) suitably managing the information volume, and (c) creating a community of learning and inquiry so as to take advantage of what we know of higher learning experiences and the properties of communication with digital technologies.
