Page 14: Teaching in Blended and Online Learning Environments

• How does blended learning fit into current conceptions of online learning?

• How does blended learning help engage students and support their academic success?

• How are online learning and face-to-face instruction being combined effectively?

• Is blended learning meeting unique student needs that neither fully online nor face-to-face models can achieve?

• What digital content and curricula are being used in blended learning?

with Online Components• Student performance

better than F2F alone1

• Benefits:o flexibility o allows for better use of

time during F2Fo appeals to multiple

learning styleso current information

Online Teaching•  "F2F Alternative"•  Strictly online•  Student performance same

as F2F1

• Benefits:o  flexibilityo  review ofteno  "quiet" students inclined to

communicateo curriculum - real time

Blended Teaching

"Overall, the meta-analysis found that students who took part of their class online performed better, on average, than those taking the same course through traditional face to face instruction." - USDOE's "Evaluation of Evidence-Based Practices in Online Learning"1

"Blended learning, combining the best elements of online and face-to-face education, is likely to emerge as the predominant teaching model of the future." 3
