Blended learning, the integration of in-person and online learning, offers universities with opportunities to improve their students’ access to quality higher education teaching and learning that enhances student engagement and their learning outcomes (Dziuban, Graham, Moskal, Norberg, & Sicilia, 2018; Garrison & Kanuka, 2004; Graham, 2006; Norberg, Dziuban, & Moskal, 2011; Wanner & Palmer, 2015). It positions universities towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 4 of ensuring “inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all”(United Nations, 2015, p. 19). Students in a blended learning environment are provided with more opportunities for monitoring and managing their own learning as they learn how to learn. However, universities may lack the capacity to take up these opportunities to design and implement blended learning that engages students and supports them to meet the learning outcomes of the course. This book aims to (1) examine the support mechanisms for blended learning in Asian universities and (2) document and examine the promising practices and lessons learned of blended learning in different disciplinary courses in Asian universities.The book is divided into two main parts, university-level initiatives and policies, and disciplinary-level practices and lessons learnt. The first part,“University Approach to Blended Learning,” contains five chapters that feature leading universities in the region driving and supporting blended learning at the faculty and institutional level. The second part,“Disciplinary-level Blended Learning Practices,” has ten chapters that focus on the promising blended learning practices and lessons learned across different disciplines (including, humanities and language, science and engineering, social science and education, and others) in Asian universities. Additionally, the case studies presented in this book represent perspectives about blended learning in higher education from six different countries across Asia: Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, and Sri Lanka. A final chapter by the two editors and their co-authors synthesizes the key themes and subthemes
