Blended Learning
“Blended Learning combines online delivery of
educational content with the best features of
classroom interaction and live instruction to
personalize learning, allow thoughtful reflection,
and differentiate instruction from student to
student across a diverse group of learners.”
(iNACOL)

“a formal education program in which a student
learns:
• at least in part through online learning, with
some element of student control over time,
pace, place, and/or path;
• at least in part in a supervised brick-and-
mortar location away from home;
• and the modalities along each student’s
learning path within a course or subject are
connected to provide an integrated learning
experience.”
Blended Learning

What Blended Learning is Not…
• A class website with links to homework,
practice quizzes, or other resources that
supplement your instruction.
• Students’ use of instructional software during
class time or even after school for
remediation.
• WebQuests, Scavenger Hunts or other
Internet-based activities incorporated into
your normal classroom curriculum.
• After school chats using a Web-based chat
tool
• Recorded tutorials for struggling students
