This week I joined Eduspaces, powered by Elgg. It was simple, unlike the horror stories I've heard. Now I'v e got to figure out what I rfeally want to do with it!
I happened upon this video in Eduspaces of an instructor that wants to start a discussion about "Blended Learning". Besides the exploration of the format of this Elgg, that question interested me. I'd never heard of blended learning, and he wants to define it, or assign parameters to it in order to identify it as such.

I watched the video you posted - thank you, it was insightful. I never realized that there was a debate about blended learning. I can understand schools being interested in trying to measure a professor's input by seat time, but it seems that the best measure of effectiveness would be in finding ways to gauge the outcome.
I suppose eventually, as k-12 schools evolve they will be holding similar conversations.
Interesting video. I hope that it inspires a group to discuss blended learning as I would imagine that there will be more interest in the topic. I hope you post more about your Eduspaces experience.
