What is blended learning?
Blended learning is a hybrid instructional approach that combines digital tools with traditional face-to-face methods. It offers flexibility in pace, place, and mode of learning. Integrating online and in-person experiences enhances instruction while maintaining the benefits of in-person interactions, fostering more profound understanding and engagement.
Why blended learning?
Blended learning enhances student engagement and improves outcomes by combining the strengths of online and in-person modalities. It offers flexibility, enabling learners to control their pace while enjoying interactions with educators and peers. This approach fosters deeper understanding, better retention, and stronger critical thinking skills, resulting in a more effective educational experience.
