01

5. ● Though it is sometimes hard to determine the difference between
blended and flipped learning, here is the easiest way to understand
the differences. Blended learning is the collaboration between in
class or face-to-face education with online learning and other
course components.
● In contrast, flipped classrooms are when the instructors create
courses, texts, or lectures that are watched or read at a student's
own pace, and in-class teaching assists in practicing the
concepts learned in the videos or other course materials.

Blended learning is a pedagogical or educational approach that
combines traditional face-to-face teaching methods, such as in a
classroom setting, with eLearning technology, like online
courses, lectures, presentations, quizzes, games including
videos, chats, social media platforms, or webinars, etc.
It is not just a combination of teaching modes but also a combination
of Instructor-controlled and learner-controlled learning.
In blended learning, we blend(mix) the best of classroom and online
training.

7.  In the classroom environment, the instructor
can
 motivate the learners,
 build a relationship with them, and
 provide them with the feedback or
counsel them.
In this environment, the instructor is in the
best position to maintain discipline through the
learning program to achieve the learning
results.
 Where as in online learning, the learners get
the flexibility of self-directed and self-controlled
study with the instructor’s help as and when
required.
 Blended learning is also known as hybrid
learning, mixed-mode learning, or tech-
enhanced learning.

8. The basic example of blended learning scenario is students getting an
introduction and explanation of the topic in the classroom and accessing more
information about the topic from the internet in the form of online articles or
videos.

9. Modes of Blended
Learning
02

10. Modes of Blended Learning
Based on the different ways in which we can blend
the learning modes,
we can have different types of blended learning
models like : -
● Face-to-face Driver
● Online driver model,
● Rotation model
● Enriched virtual learning model,
● Flex learning,
● Self-blend learning.
Almost all of these models are similar in concept
about blending online learning with Instructor-
assisted learning;
however, the proportions of time spent by the
learners in each environment vary based on their
learning requirements.

12. 1. Rotation Model –
 In this model, the students rotate between technology-
assisted self-learning and Instructor-assisted learning
(discussions, activities, assessments).
 The students either start with self-learning at the computer
station and move to the teacher’s desk/classroom or vice-
versa.
 The students rotate between two learning modes based on
the schedules set by the instructors, learning program
coordinator, or by the learners themselves.
 The rotation model could be Mastery-based (assessment
based), Individual or computer lab rotation model.

13. 2. Enriched Virtual Model –
In this model, the students receive
one-to-one session with the
instructor and complete rest of the
curriculum independently on their
own.

14. 3. Face-to-face/Online Driver Model –
 In the face-to-face model, the
instructor covers most of the curriculum and
guides the students towards online learning
material for further learning.
 In the Online driver model, the
students complete most of the curriculum online
through self-learning and contacts the instructor
on need basis or mandatorily, as instructed in the
program.
 The other blended learning
program similar to face-to-face or online driver
models is Self-blend learning.

15. 4. Flex Learning Model –
 In this model also, students do most of
the learning online but under the
supervision of the teacher.
 The teachers provide timely support
through group-sessions or in-person
counselling.
 The Flex learning model is very popular
in higher secondary schooling.

16. 5. Flipped Classroom Learning Model –
 In flipped classroom learning model,
the students read the study material based on
the curriculum at home through online videos
or courses.
 In the classroom, they discuss the
read topics with their classmates and get in to
group discussions or other learning activities
under the guidance of an instructor.

17. 6. Project based Learning Model –
 This learning model is used
to complete a given learning
project.
 The learners access online
study portals – either self-directed
or guided and take guidance from
the instructor (personal counselling
or collaboration) to complete the
project.
 The project could be a
learning assignments, learning
products or artifacts.

18. 7. Inside-Out/Outside-In learning Model –
 In the Inside-Out learning model, the learners are given education inside the
classroom and then taken out in the world (communities or social groups –
online or physical) to enhance and confirm their education.
 In the Outside-In learning model, the learners start their experiences in the
outside world and finish their learning in the classroom where they collaborate
and give/receive the feedback.

20. CAI
(Computer-Assisted Instruction)
CAI (Computer-Assisted Instruction): CAI refers to the use of computers or digital
technology to aid instruction. In a flipped learning setting, CAI can include online modules,
educational software, or interactive simulations that students engage with outside the
traditional classroom.
Example:
Students watch an online video tutorial at home that introduces a new concept, and
then they come to class prepared to engage in activities and discussions related to
that concept.

21. 21
SWAYAM: Government of India's platform for
online courses covering a wide range of
subjects at the undergraduate and postgraduate
levels.
NPTEL (National Programme on Technology
Enhanced Learning): Offers online courses in
engineering, science, and humanities.

22. CML (Computer-Mediated/Managed
Learning):
CML (Computer-Mediated/Managed Learning): CML encompasses a broader
spectrum of computer-based interactions in the learning process. It includes various forms
of digital communication, collaboration, and resources that facilitate learning. In flipped
learning, CML might involve online discussions, collaborative projects, or multimedia
presentations.
Example:
Students participate in an online discussion forum
where they share insights, ask questions, and
collaborate on a project related to the course content.
This online interaction supplements face-to-face
discussions in the classroom.
22

23. ● Moodle: A widely used open-source
learning platform that facilitates online
discussions, content sharing, and
collaborative learning.
● EdX: Provides online courses from
universities and institutions worldwide,
offering a platform for discussion and
collaboration among learners.
23

24. CBL (Computer-Based Learning):
CBL (Computer-Based Learning): CBL focuses specifically on learning activities that
are facilitated by computer technology. In a flipped learning model, CBL can involve
interactive exercises, quizzes, or simulations that students complete independently before
class, allowing in-person sessions to be more interactive and discussion-based.
Example:
Before attending a class session, students complete an
interactive computer-based simulation that allows them to
experiment with scientific principles.
These examples illustrate how technology is
integrated into the learning process, both inside and
outside the traditional classroom setting, in a flipped
learning environment.

25. ● Coursera: Offers a variety of courses and
specializations from universities and
organizations globally, with interactive
content and assessments.
● Udacity: Focuses on providing project-
based learning experiences and real-world
projects in collaboration with industry
partners.

32. Benefits & Challenges
04

33. Benefits of blended learning
The blended learning approach provides you with various possibilities of learning with a blend of
instructor-aided class room and online training. It is the most effective learning strategy as
compared to only face-to-face instructor-led training or only online training. This approach allows
the learner to complete their learning program using the strategy that best suits their
requirements.
● Practical learning – This learning approach provides learners with the opportunity to learn
and practice in the real environment while being guided by the instructor.
● Highly Interactive Learning Material – The online study material given to the learners
before or after the classroom is interactive, illustrative, and engaging.
● Learning Progress tracking – The courses and curriculum are built with learning
progress tracker and assessments to help the learners assess their learning progress
either online or get a feedback from the instructors.
● Self-Directed Learning – The blended learning approach allows the learner to navigate
through the learning program as per their pace, schedule, and learning progress.
● Different Learning Strategies for Different Learners – The different blended learning
models provide different learning strategies that the learners can choose from based on
their requirements.

34. Challenges of blended learning
● Dependence on Technology – For any blended learning program to become
successful, the learner should have uninterrupted access to the electronic/media
devices.
● Dependence on the Learner for course completion – Almost all of the blended
learning models support self-directed learning. Sometimes, if now guided properly,
the learning may not be effective and may not give the desired results.
● Expensive – Blended learning is supported heavily by the e-learning content and
media devices like computers, laptops, smart phones, data and wi-fi connections,
etc. The cost of making good e-learning content is high and so is maintaining the
media devices.
