Blended learning information and resources

We’ve just published an article about blended learning in our education reference. It explains the characteristics, history, features, and benefits of this teaching and learning method. Here’s an excerpt:

In contrast to teacher-centered, rote-learning approaches, blended learning environments provide multiple ways to access content and to demonstrate mastery. As a result, they lend themselves more readily to differentiation of content and process. A blended approach also gives the learner the opportunity to be more responsible for his or her learning, which creates a learning situation that may be more meaningful on an individual level.

At the bottom of the article you’ll also find links to LEARN NC’s other blended learning resources, including a guide to implementing blended learning in your classroom, and online courses that teach various blended learning principles.

We invite you to browse our other education reference entries, from the achievement gap to the zone of proximal development.
