Abstract: As we approach a new normal in post-COVID-19 pedagogy, we need to consider blended learning (BL) as a significant contribution to precautionary and preventive actions for containing the spread of COVID-19. This paper provides a framework to recognize transformation to a new normal by 1) reviewing the history of BL associated with its models and design options; 2) presenting general characteristics of BL in a matrix of place, distance, and technology; and 3) analyzing scenario planning and strategies for reopening academic institutions. Based on the BL continuum and health and safety conditions resulting from the pandemic, the study first proposed a scenario planning framework. Second, it developed a classification framework of BL addressing its continuum, models, and learning theories via a smart learning environment. Finally, the study proposed a conceptual matrix of BL that considers health and safety conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
