This document discusses the benefits of blending online and in-person learning. Studies show that blended learning formats can improve student achievement and reduce costs. It allows students flexibility to learn online when life circumstances prevent in-person attendance. Schools that have implemented blended models, like the Chicago Virtual Charter School and Florida Virtual School, saw students spend some time in a classroom and the rest learning online from home with guidance from teachers. Blended learning provides more opportunities for students to succeed in their education.
