Blended Learning
The term Blended Learning refers to situations where students engage in a variety of learning environments, both actual and virtual, to increase content relevance and improve achievement. The purpose of these learning environments is to provide multiple engaging pathways for students to connect with the teacher, the content, each other, and the world.
The objective is to create instructional environments that allow the connection among students, teachers, and the content to be more meaningful and individualized than what can be attained in a traditional learning environment.
