So how do we define blended learning?

 

 

 

Blended learning is "the thoughtful integration of classroom face-to-face learning experiences with online learning experiences."
Garrison and Kanuka, 2004 Links to an external site.

 

The focus here is "thoughtful integration" - blended learning is not just a mix of uploaded documents and self-study, with little teacher engagement. Blended learning brings together face-to-face learning and digital learning to give our students the best of both worlds! Our students may learn through readings, discussions, videos, interactive knowledge checks, case studies, creative and industry projects along with a range of other diverse materials and activities. The combination of teacher guided digital learning and face-to-face classes on campus allows students to interact and collaborate with their peers and teachers to enjoy a varied and meaningful learning experience.
