Abstract
The adoption of online learning within universities has been sporadic and rare. However, with
the onset of COVID-19, higher ed institutions worldwide have been forced to switch from inperson
to online learning. This transition, while challenging, is dramatically increasing the
adoption of online learning in higher education. However, for online learning to endure, it must
be integrated across the entire campus, or in other words, it must truly scale horizontally.
Blended learning, which allows universities to integrate online learning with in-person learning,
provides the best of the two learning models and offers a much lower resistance path to
campus-wide adoption. Blended learning increases business continuity and has unique
pedagogical benefits which increase learning outcomes. It is the future of higher education.
