Blended Learning



http://www.blendmylearning.com/blended-learning/

Blended learning generally refers to infusing the best of traditional schools with the transformative power of technology.


Innosight Institute defines blended learning as:

a formal education program in which a student learns, at least in part, through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace
and
at least in part, at a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home.

Innosight Institute classifies blended learning into four models:
1. Rotational
2. Flex
3. Self-blend
4. Enriched-Virtual

The best blended learning approaches use technology to:
  • help each student master the content and skills they need,
  • allow teachers to get the most out of their planning and instructional time, and
  • streamline operations with costs similar to – or less than – traditional schooling.
In great blended learning schools, technology and teaching inform each other. Students alternate regularly between engaging with teachers and peers and focusing on online content tailored to their learning pace and progress. Education Elements believes that tightly integrating online content and offline instruction helps students get exactly what they need when they need it – and that regularly reviewing student progress data and dynamically adjusting student groups optimizes student-teacher interactions.
