This paper discusses how mixed-mode learning came about and its significance. In distance education, mixed-mode learning should involve mixing along three dimensions: teaching media, learning modes and learning content. Teaching media to a great extent determine the conversational level that can be realized. How content is structured is a key consideration for learning content while the nature of the learning mode determines the distribution of the rights of teachers and students in interaction. This paper concludes by analyzing the implications that mixed-mode learning has for the development of distance education in China and how we can best determine a mix of different media and learning content so as to familiarize students with the latest technology and to satisfy their diverse needs.
