Benefits of blended learning
Blended learning allows teachers to do what they do best – work directly
and closely with individual students and small groups – by harnessing the
adaptive power and precision of technology.
The best blended learning approaches use technology
to:
-
help each student
master the content and skills they need,
- allow teachers to get
the most out of their planning and instructional time, and
- streamline operations
with costs similar to – or less than – traditional schooling.
-
full provision of
module related documents in electronic format;
-
regular formative
assessment with feedback,
-
opportunities to learn
from each other collaboratively,
-
electronic personal
development planning,
-
the opportunity to
submit all appropriate summative assessments electronically,
and that all face to face
learning is interactive
