Which is a blended learning activity?

• Learners meet in a classroom to collaborate and contribute to the project. They also use channels in messengers, online communities, and task managers to plan their work and control the flow.

• Learners are divided into groups during a lesson and talk about a particular topic.

This is one type of blended learning:

A teacher or instructor delivers materials to learners, some of whom attend class in person, while others join the class virtually from home.

• Yes

• No

Benefits of Blended learning:

• Interactive learning process

• Learner autonomy

• Plagiarism

• Better comprehension

Blended learning models:

• Online Driver Model

• Hybrid Model

• Rotation Model

• Face-to-Face Drive Model

Learners will spend time participating in learning, exchanging and discussing ideas directly in class, while reading documents or performing exercises will be via the Internet.

• Rotation model

• Face-to-Face Drive model

• Flex model

• Online Lab model

It relies entirely on a digital delivery of the training. It combines both synchronous training (live webinars, peer-to-peer training sessions, etc.) and asynchronous training (self-paced study of e-courses).

• Online Driver model

• Self-Blended model

• Flex model

• Online Lab model

Learners study new content at home before the class, and in-class time is devoted to active learning and applying the newly learned skills. This can be accomplished in the form of discussions, case studies, or project work.

• Rotation model

• Flipped classroom

• Flex model

• Face-to-Face Drive model

It allows learners to have control over their learning. Students can move from one activity to another according to their needs. Activities can be both online and offline. Teachers or instructors are always on-site to instruct and help learners if necessary.

• Rotation modal

• Online Driver model

• Online Lab model

• Flex model

Learners will alternate between traditional learning and online learning according to a published schedule.
