Overview
Blended learning, often called “Mixed Mode instruction,” represents the strategic integration of face-to-face and online learning environments. This model surpasses the effectiveness of traditional methods by combining the individualized attention of digital platforms with the expert guidance of an instructor. As corporate training evolves, blended learning has emerged as a nationwide revolution, promising world-class education for trainees across all communities and backgrounds.
Defining the Modern Classroom
Blended learning also referred to as “Mixed Mode instruction” is an integration of purely face to face and online learning. It is more effective than adopting either of them individually. This is a prominent trend in corporate training that has implications for distributed learning across a range of venues and constituents. It allows for effective guidance from the teachers along with the individualized attention for all the learners. This does not seem to be possible in only classroom learning.
Some organizations define Blended learning where 30-70 % of the instruction is delivered online. Blended learning programs have sparked a nationwide revolution. Here entire classrooms and schools will now deliver world class education online. Especially, to the trainees from all backgrounds and communities.
The Problem: Awareness and Implementation Gaps
Yet, despite this revolution brought about by Digital learning, citizens mostly are not able to access these resources. This is because of the limitation in their choices. About 60% of the urban people in India are not aware that there exists any new revolution in the field of learning or training.
Accessibility and Community Inclusion
So, this clearly means that range of Blended learning has not included most of the regions or communities. Thus, the question clearly comes as to how could we make this mode of learning more accessible to all the citizens. This is made to assure that its deliverables doesn’t remain confined to limited no of organizations. Other than that, many fail to choose a right mix. It’s because they get confused by the so many possibilities afforded by blended learning.
