One thing I like about these papers is this list from page 16 of the first paper:
"It doesn’t make sense to talk about possible blends unless we consider the components. A recipe is useless without ingredients. Without a list of the possible components, we are simply relying on our own limited experience, the familiar, or worse, our prejudices.
What follows are components, split into 12 groups, in turn split into 6 offline and 6 online groups. It is important to separate these, as access to intranet and Internet technology is a necessary condition for any of the 6 online groups.

Six offline component groups:
1. Workplace learning
2. Face-to-face tutoring, coaching or mentoring
3. Classroom
4. Distributable print media
5. Distributable electronic media
6. Broadcast media
Six online component groups:
1. Online learning content
2. E-tutoring, e-coaching or e-mentoring
3. Online collaborative learning
4. Online knowledge management
5. The web
6. Mobile learning
