Blended learning combines traditional in-person classroom methods with online digital learning. It allows students to sometimes learn at school and sometimes online, with some control over the pace and path of their learning. Blended learning can incorporate tools like email, videos, discussion boards and Google Docs. It provides advantages like personalized learning support, opportunities for independent and collaborative work, and increased student engagement through various learning styles. Teachers play an essential guiding role in blended classrooms by helping students manage their activities and direct their learning. Setting up a blended classroom involves identifying learning outcomes and planning in-class, online pre-class, and post-class activities.
