Abstract
Amidst the spread of COVID-19, higher education institutions (HEIs) in South Africa
were compelled to offer academic programmes through online learning by utilising digital
information and communication technologies (ICT) that were specifically designed to
deliver content to mature students who used technology in their learning. This chapter
focuses on the effective design of blended-learning environments and building the capacity
of lecturers to design and facilitate interactive, blended e-pedagogy for mature students.
We use the adapted ADDIE model to illustrate how lecturers can design and facilitate
blended e-pedagogy for mature students. In fact, the COVID-19 crisis catapulted blended
e-pedagogy to centre stage in higher education and created the need for: e-pedagogy
training; the refining of e-tools; collaborative e-tools; and online assessment e-tools.
