Brief Summary

Blended Learning (BL) is proving to be an effective method of teaching within the health professions . However, there are still scarce studies on BL conducted with undergraduate physiotherapy students. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of a heart disease BL programme in knowledge, motivation, engagement, design of the programme instructions and learning behaviours in physiotherapy students.
