BLENDED LEARNING
Name : Rana Mohammed Najdi.No,: 3280196.Presnted To: Dr, Antar Abdullah.
Our lives are already blended
Our students already live their lives in a combination of digital and real spaces.
What is blended learning? Blended learning is education that combines face-to-face classroom methods with computer-mediated activities.[1] According to its proponents, the strategy creates a more integrated approach for both instructors and learners.
How?
For example, consider a traditional class meeting schedule. Say that the course would normally meet MWF, from 1-3 PM. If the institution were to apply a blended learning approach, the course may change so that it meets once per week instead of the usual three-session format. Learning activities that otherwise would have taken place during classroom time can be moved online.
THE MANY NAMES OF BLENDED LEARNING:
."You may hear blended learning described as “integrated learning”, “hybrid learning”, “multi-method learning” (Node, 2001). "The term "blended learning" is being used with increasing frequency in both academic and corporate circles. In 2003, the American Society for Training and Development identified blended learning as one of the top ten trends to emerge in the knowledge delivery industry" (cited in Rooney, 2003) (Graham, 2004).
Why Blended Learning? The goal of a blended approach is to join the best aspects of both face to
face and online instruction.
Classroom time can be used to engage students in advanced interactive experiences.
Meanwhile, the online portion of the course can provide students with multimedia-rich content at any time of day, anywhere the student has internet access.
This allows for an increase in scheduling flexibility for students.
In addition to flexibility and convenience for students.
Eight Educational Considerations For Blended Learning (From Brunel University)
•The Learning and Teaching Development Unit of the Brunel University has produced a booklet entitled “Educational Considerations for Blended Learning”. It is a resource booklet written to assist lecturers in their teaching in a blended learning environment for their students. Eight educational considerations were identified:
Types of blended learning :1. The use of Multimedia and Virtual Internet Resources in
the classroom. Examples include the use of videos, virtual field trips, and interactive websites.
2. The use of Classroom Websites in the classroom. Included is a growing list of examples of useful blended learning websites.
3. The use of Course Management Systems. Examples include the use of Moodle, WebCT and Blackboard.
4. The use of Synchronous and Asychronous Discussions in the classroom. Examples of resources available include Yahoo Groups, TappedIn, Blogs, and Elluminate
What is involved in “blended learning?”It can be considered to comprise the mixing of asynchronous and synchronous activities and using the following technologies:• Educational technologies using computer• Cellular or Smartphones• Satellite television channels• Video-conferencing• Other emerging electronic media
What is the ultimate aim of blended learning?
The ultimate aim is to provide realistic practical opportunities for learners and teachers to make learning independent,
useful, sustainable and ever growing.
The Characteristics Of B L:
1- A shift from lecture- to student-centered instruction in which students become active and interactive learners (this shift should apply to the entire course, including face-to-face contact sessions).
2-Increases in interaction between student-instructor, student-student, student-content, and student-outside resources.
3 -intergrated formative and summative a ssessment mechanisms for students and instructor.
Benefits of blended learning (1/3)
• Increases the effectiveness of the learning process.
• Reduces the cost and time required to learn.
• Increases learner satisfaction about the learning process.
Benefits (2/3)
• Increases the number of students.
• Increases the motivation to the learning process through the use of multimedia.
• Provides the three choices for our learners (F2F,Online,Blended).
Benefits (3/3)
• It works to improve educational outcomes.
• Blended learning allows us to make the most of technology to achieve specific educational goals.
• Blended Learning can unite learning and work.
Media used in Blended Learning • Classroom: is good for workshops, coaching, exercises,
feedback on activities and paper-based tests.• • Self-paced e-learning: is good for simulations, online
case studies, interactive learning modules, e-mail, bulletin boards interactions, online assessments, and other forms of CBT (computer based training).
• • Live e-Learning: is good for application exercises,
online coaching, interaction between students, online feedback, assessment, chats and instant messaging.
Designing Blended Learning (1/3)
To design blended learning, the instructional designers start by analyzing the course objectives and breaking them down into the smallest possible appropriate chunks (learning object).
Designing Blended Learning (2/3)After the course or training has been chunked,
the best approach to deliver each segment of instruction (learning object) is identified.
In some cases the best approach might be using online learning, but in others it might be live instruction.
Designing Blended Learning (3/3)The course is then aggregated by grouping the instruction logically while taking into account the medium of delivery. In this way, one may require a few lessons online and some others live.
Teacher’s Role
1) developing online course content and structure.
2) communication.
3) guiding and individualizing learning.
4) assessing, grading, and promoting.
What are the challenges of Blended Learning?
Among the challenges of offering Blended Learning are: How to manage instructional complexity How to design it. How to manage the roles and responsibilities. How to create a seamless learning experience. How to meet expectations How to control costs
Advantages of Blended Learning
1-Cost effectiveness for both the accrediting learning institution and the learner2- Accessibility to a post secondary education 3- Flexibility in scheduling and timetabling of course work
DISADVANTAGES OF BLENDED LEARNING
1-Computer and Internet access2- Limited knowledge in the use of technology3- Study skills
