What is BLENDED LEARNING?
According to the National Education Association, blended learning is “an education program that integrates a virtual and face-to-face learning environment for students.” In a blended learning environment:
🔺 Students have some control over place, path, and pace of learning
🔺 Learning usually occurs through an integrated curriculum
🔺 The learning cycle flows best when unpacked as pre-learning activities that prepare students to engage in both the virtual and face-to-face learning environment
🔺 The next phase of learning is the instructor-led session in which the educator directs student activities to ensure that learning goals are met
🔺 Post-learning activities in which the educator uses evaluative data to provide appropriate assignments that reinforce and expand learning goals
