I use this term because, on the one hand, it is 'like' blended learning in that the synchronous component is very present (I conduct my online seminars exactly as I do on-campus) yet the online, asynchronous, 24/7 component is also important because it is the natural 'overflow' site for unfinished business in the virtual classroom. Based on a problem-based learning approach, BOLD facilitates faculty migration online through high-level dialogue and low front-end design requirements. M Power Hi,
