The sustainable building engineering education at Mid Sweden University has since it started 1994 a strong focus on sustainable building. It is also committed to be a pilot case for blended learning. All courses in the building engineering program were from the autumn 2012 adapted to a blended learning concept. That means that all courses are available in an integrated mix of ordinary campus and online distance education in real time.

Blended learning is a way of taking in account different needs concerning student study situation. Adult students, bound with house and families, often prefer more distance education while younger students need more campus education.

The results of the case study show that blended learning attracts more students, and allows students with different backgrounds to study and gives a more solid base of students for the program. It also allows a more flexible way of allocating resources by integrating two previous modes of delivery for the same program. This provides an education with a well thought through quality assurance. Another strength of blended learning is the possibility to connect individual students to a larger collective of students, making it possible for them to relate to and learn with and from others by social interactions that are difficult to achieve in solely online education.

The pilot case is so far limited to the sustainable building engineering program but in a next stage the concept is planned to be spread to other engineering programs and other education programs at Mid Sweden University.

瑞典中部大学的可持续建筑工程教育自 1994 年开始以来一直非常关注可持续建筑。它还致力于成为混合学习的试点案例。建筑工程课程中的所有课程都是从 2012 年秋季开始适应混合学习概念的。这意味着所有课程都可以在普通校园和在线远程教育的综合组合中实时提供。

混合式学习是一种考虑学生学习情况的不同需求的方法。与家庭和家庭联系在一起的成年学生通常更喜欢远程教育，而年轻学生则需要更多的校园教育。

案例研究的结果表明，混合式学习吸引了更多的学生，让不同背景的学生都可以学习，为项目提供了更坚实的学生基础。它还允许通过为同一程序集成两种先前的交付模式来更灵活地分配资源。这通过质量保证提供了经过深思熟虑的教育。混合学习的另一个优势是可以将单个学生与更大的学生群体联系起来，使他们能够通过社交互动与他人建立联系并相互学习，而这在单独的在线教育中是难以实现的。

到目前为止，试点案例仅限于可持续建筑工程项目，但在下一阶段，该概念计划推广到瑞典中部大学的其他工程项目和其他教育项目。
