Blended Learning Definition
A formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or pace
and
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.
