Cover Story: The blended approach is likely to be one of the most popular trends in the near future. Blended does not only mean mixing online and offline modes of teaching, tools, and media, but also learning contexts such as academic and professional contexts. In this study, to achieve an effective blend of learning contexts, university students were monitored by academic and company tutors through an instant messaging app. Qualitative analysis of chats and interviews revealed that the company tutor contributed to both the traditional blended dimension (mixing online and offline) and to the blend of the academic and professional contexts. The company tutors considered the opportunity to blend academic and professional contexts as a strength for both themselves as educators/company representatives, and for the students. View this paper
