ANYWHERE/ANYTIME / BLENDED LEARNING

Blended refers to a mix of online and face-to-face learning. The mix of each is up to an individual school. Blended learning programs look to leverage the best of face-to-face learning (interaction, caring relationships with adults, personalization, “just-in-time” coaching) with the best of online (personalization, adaptive curriculum, bringing the world to the student).
