Summary
This study explores the similarities and differences between Canadian and Australian univerisity teachers' face-to-face and online teaching approaches and perspectives in two comparable Canadian and Australian univeristies, both of which offer instruction in these two modes. The chapter explores whether moving from face-to-face to online teaching results in new teaching approaches or in the creative blending of those developed within the different teaching modalities. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected to report teachers' face-to-face and online teaching experiences and teaching approaches and philosophies in terms of their beliefs, intentions and actions in both modalities. The authors discuss the findings in terms of how to assist teachers to successfully transition from traditional teacher-centred to newly emerging learner-centred teaching appraches in blended learning classrooms.
