It begins by tracing a semblance of some of the most significant aspects that describe the educational reality in Spanish centers to describe the different factors that arise to resume educational activity in the short term. Once the context is described, the main characteristics of blended learning are synthesized, emphasizing the different possible models, reviewing specialized literature that shows empirical evidence on experiences and implementations in other countries. Finally, with this information, factors that can help make decisions in the implementation of these programs are identified, distinguished the ones of transversal nature, and others specific to choose from.
