BLENDED LEARNINGBlended learning is a formal education programme in which a student learns at least in part through delivery of content and instruction via digital and online media with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace while still attending a “brick-and-mortar” school structure, face-to-face classroom. Methods are combined with computer-mediated activities.

A lack of consensus on a definition of blended learning has led to difficulties in research about its effectiveness in the classroom.

So, blended learning mostly involves "combining Internet and digital media with established classroom forms that

require the physical co-presence of teacher and students.“

Blended Learning classified into six models:

FACE TO FACE DRIVER

ROTATION

FLEX

LABS

SELF-BLENDED

ONLINE DRIVER

Face to face driver –the teacher drives the instruction and augments with digital tools.

Rotation – students cycle through a schedule of independent online study and face-to-face classroom time.

Flex – Most of the curriculum is delivered via a digital platform and teachers are available for face-to-face consultation and support.

Labs –curriculum is delivered via a digital platform but in a consistent physical location. Students usually take traditional classes as well.

Self-Blend – Students choose to augment their traditional learning with online course work.

Online Driver – All curriculum and teaching is delivered via a digital platform and face-to-face meetings are scheduled or made available if necessary

It

• facilitates a simultaneous independent and collaborative learning experience,

• is a major contributor to student satisfaction and success in such courses.

• improves students` attitudes towards learning.

By incorporating information technology into class projects,

communication between lecturers and part-time students has

improved, and students were able to better evaluate their

understanding of course material via the use of "computer-based

qualitative and quantitative assessment modules" in a study by

Alexander and McKenzie (1998).

Students with special talents or interests outside of the available

curricula use educational technology to advance their skills or exceed

grade restrictions. Some online institutions connects students with

instructors via web conference technology to form a digital classroom

Blended learning has a strong dependence on the technical resources

with which the blended learning experience is delivered—these tools

need to be reliable, easy to use, and up to date in order for the use of

the Internet to have a meaningful impact on the learning experience.

Additionally, IT literacy can serve as a significant barrier for students

attempting to get access to the course materials, making the availability

of high quality technical support paramount.

It has been observed that the

use of lecture recording

technologies can result in

students falling behind on the

material—in a study performed

across four different universities,

it was found that only half of the

students watched the lecture

videos on a regular basis, and

nearly 40% of students watched

several weeks' worth of videos in

one sitting.

• E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material. (Derek Stockley 2003)

• E-learning can involve a greater variety of equipment than online training or education, for as the name implies, "online" involves using the Internet or an Intranet. CD-ROM and DVD can be used to provide learning materials.

• Distance education provided the base for e-learning's development. E-learning can be "on demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties.

• saves time

• allows staff to complete the course when and where they like

• allows each individual to tackle the subject at their own pace,

M-LEARNING

• M-learning or mobile learning is defined as "learning across multiple contexts, through social and content interactions, using personal electronic devices.”

• A form of e-learning distance education, m-learners can use mobile device educational technology in many locations at their time convenience.

• M-learning technologies include handheld computers, MP3 players, notebooks, mobile phones and tablets.

• M-learning focuses on the mobility of the learner, interacting with portable technologies. Using mobile tools for creating learning aids and materials becomes an important part of informal learning.

• is convenient in that it is accessible from virtually anywhere. Sharing is almost instantaneous among everyone using the same content, which leads to the reception of instant feedback and tips. This highly active process has proven to increase exam scores from the fiftieth to the seventieth percentile, and cut the dropout rate in technical fields by 22 percent.

• also brings strong portability by replacing books and notes with small devices, filled with tailored learning contents.

• facilitates online interaction between instructor and student, and student to student.
