    Distance education can lead to feelings of isolation, disconnection and depersonalisation on the part of the learner. This phenomenon has begun to be studied especially in online learning, and to a much lesser extent in blended learning. The pandemic has also exacerbated this sense of isolation, so it is timely to consider whether studies on blended learning are addressing student isolation, and what lessons previous research can teach us. A review of the literature and a cluster analysis shows that the sense of isolation resulting from the pandemic somewhat hides the isolation that blended methodology can provoke. Isolation is still attributed to the online part of the hybrid teaching and especially to the asynchronous part, but little is said in the literature about blended learning as a whole. There is a lack of analysis that comprehensively assess this phenomenon, studying the appropriate design of hybrid courses to address isolation holistically. This study itself makes some recommendations and suggestions for further work to lessen the isolation that students may feel in blended learning, and in distance learning in general.
