My comment about Blended Learning
There are 3 important component
in Blended learning. They are technology, classroom and teachers. The blended classroom is designed to meet the
individual needs of student by allowing teachers to personalize instruction.
This strategy can be used for any subject and any grade level.
Blended learning combines face-to-face and online instruction. It allows
students to work with teachers in school and have online resources at home. It
is similar to the flipped classroom, but with more emphasis on in-class work
with the teacher over video/home content. Project Based Learning is a type of
blended classroom. Students work on projects at home, and in class. In class,
they can ask the teacher for help, and continue on the project at home, with
online materials for help. By having online materials available, students have
access to support when out of the classroom. Students access some material at
home and complete some work at home, while leaving more time during class to
get into deeper context with the teachers. There are
six blended learning techniques: e-Learning, webinars, classroom, role play, coaching,
and OTJ.
Based on explanation above, my comment about blended learning
are first, for school, blended learning can be part of a strategy to compensate
for limited classroom space, as well as a way to think differently about
encouraging school collaboration. Also, it can be a method to infuse new
engagement opportunities into established courses or, for some, provide a
transitional opportunity between fully face-to-face and fully online
instruction.
Second, for students, blended learning offer the
conveniences of online learning combined with the social and instructional
interactions that may not lend themselves to online delivery (e.g., lab
sections or proctored assessments).
