What is hybrid learning and how does it differ from blended learning?
While the terms hybrid learning and blended learning are used interchangeably, there is a slight difference between the two. Blended learning is centered on using online instruction such as videos, discussion boards and articles to complement in-person classes. Hybrid learning uses online material as an alternative to in-person material and is meant to create a flexible learning experience where students choose their learning model based on their needs.
What is Blended Learning?
Blended learning is an instructional model that combines both online and offline instruction.
Blended learning doesn’t mean that a course is restructured so that the majority of it is online; instead, the in-person and online elements work together to create a richer learning experience for students.
