Why Blended Learning?
Improved Learning
“Instruction combining online and face-to-face elements had
a larger advantage relative to purely face-to-face instruction
than did purely online instruction.”
Means et al., 2010
Why Blended Learning?
Personalization“Because digital materials may be accessed according to
students’ individual needs, and reviewed upon demand, the
provision of digital materials allows students to self-direct
certain learning activities to fill their knowledge gaps.”
Stein and Graham, 2014
Why Blended Learning?
Increased Time“It was the combination of elements in the treatment conditions (which was likely to have included additional learning time and materials as well as additional opportunities for collaboration) that produced the observed learning advantages.”
Means et al., 2010
Why Blended Learning?
Credit Recovery, Nonconsumption, and Cost
Blended learning is also being used to support credit recovery and address nonconsumption (or the unavailability of some courses, including AP courses), which can save costs by outsourcing niche classes.
