LEARNING & PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT | 3 MIN READ

Most of us are accustomed to the traditional set up of learning – your typical classroom setting. Let’s admit it, this method of teaching is not that effective anymore. Our educational system has innovated, all thanks to technology. A good example of this is eLearning where lessons are done and learned online. If we’re going to think about it, these are two different methods but both are effective as they are. What more if these methods are combined?

This method is called blended learning, this is where traditional teaching methods and eLearning meets. In this article, you will learn more about blended learning, what it does, how does it work, and its benefits.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

In blended learning, it lets the learner to do learning activities both at the classroom setup and at home or anywhere. The latter lets them understand the lesson minus the pressure of catching up with the class.

Since eLearning uses Learning Management System it allows the instructor to carefully assess the learner’s performance with the help of LMS, and with that, he/she can create an accurate feedback on how the learner is doing with the modules being personally given to the learner.

With blended learning, there is a wide selection of options on how to deliver lessons since you are incorporating technology into it. An example is Gamification that is commonly associated with eLearning. Applying this technique will make the learning process enjoyable both for the instructor and learners.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Basically, the presence of the instructor and the learners are still needed for blended learning, the only difference is that there is an application of technology in the classroom set up, whether in terms of delivering the lessons or the content of the lesson itself. And not just that,  compared to traditional teaching where the learner only listens to the teacher, in a blended learning environment, learners can answer material online since lessons are available over the cloud.

BENEFITS

There are a few benefits of integrating blended learning whether in a classroom setting or in the corporate world. It lets the learner comprehend the lesson well, absorbing the lesson that is needed to be learned. Since the learning process is the best of both worlds there is no excuse for a learner not to learn.
