Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
