Studies of the absence of students from classes as well as time budget analysis of the workload of Bachelor students provide evidence for a positive effect of the face-to-face component of blended learning environments on learning success. Attendance or presence seems to be even more important for the learning success than self-study, which in today’s bachelor curricula with their conservative structure and classical teaching methods reduces learning to cramming. This essay presents some evidence for a special role of attendance for learning success and explains the positive effect of face-to-face (f2f) situations through motivation and communication theory, and an analysis of recorded lectures.
