In the vast majority of cases, it&#8217;s for the best. Education is one of the industries that has been altered by the technology the hard way.\u00a0In this article, courtesy of Belitsoft (an <a href=\"https:\/\/belitsoft.com\/custom-elearning-development\">eLearning development company<\/a>) we will explore the definition of blended learning, study its models, and also predict the way it is going to develop in the future.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\">Blended Learning Now &#8211; Definition<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\">There is no single definition of the term \u2018blended learning.&#8217; The terms \u201cmixed\u201d or \u201chybrid\u201d learning in most cases are interchangeable and describe the same learning trend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">In simple words, it is <a href=\"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.2304\/elea.2005.2.1.17\">\u201cthe particular forms of teaching with technology<\/a>.\u201d The older these definition are dated, the more words they use to describe the trend. Speaking of technology, Belitsoft is the company that produces all kinds of eLearning solutions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Back in 2000, only about 45,000 K-12 students took any online course at least once. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.onlinelearningsurvey.com\/reports\/changingcourse.pdf?_ga=2.57476714.1748181383.1550053219-735534212.1550053219\">Ten years later<\/a>, almost one-third of all the students (32%, 3 million) in the US have taken at least one online course, with numbers approaching 50% of all students in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edglossary.org\/blended-learning\/\">edglossary.com:<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>\u201cThe term blended learning is generally applied to the practice of using both online and in-person learning experiences when teaching students\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">So blended learning is closely interlinked with the following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.panopto.com\/blog\/what-is-blended-learning\/\">three things<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Partial learning takes place online. The student has some control over their learning path and pace of consuming the content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Some learning happens in an instructor-led classroom.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"s1\">Online and in-person learning integrate, creating a nice learning environment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Things that define blended learning and give a more in-depth look into it are described in the next chapter of the article.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">For now, we should plant the seed in your mind that blended learning is not a complete online course broadcast on the internet. It is the combination of in-person and online elements that operate together to create a more developed learning experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">The Models of Blended Learning<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">As there is no strict definition of the term blended learning, there are multiple models of the trend in action and various sources state different quantity of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">We follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Blended-Disruptive-Innovation-Improve-Schools-ebook\/dp\/B00MFPZASU\"><b><i>Blended:<\/i><\/b><\/a><b><i> Using Disruptive Innovation to Improve Schools <\/i><\/b>by Michael B. Horn and Heather Stacker as an authority describing all the models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">According to these experts, there are currently four models of blended learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">These are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li6\"><span class=\"s1\">Rotation model<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li6\"><span class=\"s1\">Flex model<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li6\"><span class=\"s1\">A la carte model<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Enriched virtual model<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14005\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14005\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-14005\" src=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/annie-spratt-qyn9ksxvdhw-unsplash-e1565791868717.jpg\" alt=\"An overhead view of a blender with ingredients.\" width=\"750\" height=\"974\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14005\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Annie Spratt, Unsplash.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Let\u2019s have a more detailed look at all of them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>1. Rotation Model<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">This is one of the most common models in blended learning. Students within a single class rotate through stations on a fixed schedule (or at the teacher\u2019s discretion), where at least one of the stations is an online learning station.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">It is most commonly applied in elementary schools. Most of the learning takes place on a physical campus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The classic example of the Rotation Model in practice is the Flipped Classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/flipped-learning-works-bergmann-smith\/\">flipped classroom<\/a> is the one where students are introduced to content at home, and practice working through it at school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Rotation model, in turn, includes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blendedlearning.org\/models\/#enrich\">four different varieties<\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li6\"><span class=\"s1\">Station rotation<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li6\"><span class=\"s1\">Lab rotation<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li6\"><span class=\"s1\">Flipped Classroom<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"li2\"><span class=\"s1\">Individual Rotation<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>2. Flex Model<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The flex model allows students to have fluid schedules among learning activities based on their needs. Online learning is key in this model. The online presence is bigger in comparison with the rotation model, for instance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Teachers are able to assist students and support them. S<\/span><span class=\"s1\">tudying takes place on a flexible, as-needed basis while students work through course curriculum and content. This model can give students a high degree of control over their learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>3.\u00a0 A-La-Carte Model<\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The A-La-Carte model allows students to take an online course with an online tutor as a supplement for their face-to-face courses. It makes students&#8217; schedules more flexible in comparison with traditional forms of learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">A-La-Carte courses are great when schools lack the opportunity to provide its students with certain learning opportunities (e.g. elective courses of an advanced placement).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Also, the tutor is able to expand the range of study resources that learners may choose from. That contributes to boosting motivation and personalizes the learning path in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Thanks to the system, students can take a few self-study courses while preparing for their state exams or working on credit recovery. It saves time and money spent on commuting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Implementing the A-La-Carte Model can be quite a challenging task for tutors. Online courses creation requires technical skills and some sort of eLearning background. However, creating existing high-quality online courses that fit the studying course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Enriched Virtual Model<\/b><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">The Enriched Virtual model is an alternative to a full-time online school that allows students to complete the majority of coursework online, at home, or outside of school, but attend required face-to-face learning sessions with a teacher.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\"><span class=\"s1\">Unlike the Flipped Classroom, Enriched Virtual programs usually don\u2019t require daily school attendance. In rare cases, some courses require twice-weekly attendance or something of that kind.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p7\"><span class=\"s1\">What To Expect from Blended Learning (Summary)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/news.elearninginside.com\/blended-learning-is-proving-more-effective-than-traditional-education\/\">As the stats show us<\/a>, blended learning is becoming more and more popular and effective in the K-12 sector and among different companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">While some people are not yet ready to fully turn to eLearning, blended learning is definitely a step towards progress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">However, it must go beyond the basic combination of online courses with traditional education.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">The approach is not that simple. Among the obstacles of blended learning are high development costs and under-equipped classes in the K-12 sector.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">During the last 20 years, it\u2019s been a great improvement, as now over half of the K-12 students in the US have taken at least one online course. This numbers will continue to improve according to the industry experts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured Image: Annie Spratt, Unsplash.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rise of technologies and their applications in every aspect of society has increased massively in the digital age.
