Blended Learning

“Blended Learning combines online delivery of

educational content with the best features of

classroom interaction and live instruction to

personalize learning, allow thoughtful reflection,

and differentiate instruction from student to

student across a diverse group of learners.”

(iNACOL)

“a formal education program in which a student

learns:

• at least in part through online learning, with

some element of student control over time,

pace, place, and/or path;

• at least in part in a supervised brick-and-

mortar location away from home;

• and the modalities along each student’s

learning path within a course or subject are

connected to provide an integrated learning

experience.”

(Christensen Institute)

What Blended Learning is Not…• A class website with links to homework,

practice quizzes, or other resources that supplement your instruction.

• Students’ use of instructional software during class time or even after school for remediation.

• WebQuests, Scavenger Hunts or other Internet-based activities incorporated into your normal classroom curriculum.

• After school chats using a Web-based chat tool

• Recorded tutorials for struggling students
