To blend or not to blend?

To answer this question, consider two graduate students: Ngọc who had a solely traditional education, and Khuê - who has studied and engaged in a blended learning model. Click on their profiles to learn more about them.

Not blending = Missing out!

Without opportunities to develop digital literacy and comfort with technology through blended models, students like Ngọc will be at a disadvantage.

They miss out on developing crucial abilities like time management, self-direction, and leveraging technology to enhance learning.
They also lack experience with collaboration tools essential for the modern workplace.
Deep and memorable learning is born from active student engagement - which is absent from passive in-class lectures.
It also prevents them from fully benefiting from essential hands-on learning experiences.
The time spent on one-way information delivery could be better utilised to nurture vital skills like critical thinking and creativity.

With blended learning, students can have a mix of self-paced and collaborative learning, while teachers concentrate on mentorship and providing tailored guidance.
