In a review of instructional technology, Bosch (2016) compared four blended learning
models. These models emphasized the integration of pedagogy and technology in course design. Anderson's model assumed that none of the instruction is delivered in traditional, face-to-face mode. Among the models was a Blending with Pedagogical Purpose Model. This model contains six basic pedagogical goals, and approaches for achieving them, to form learning modules. The following paragraphs briefly review each of the six modules that make up the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS).
