What is Blended Learning?
- There are many different ways to define blended learning. The most referenced definition comes from the Christensen Institute:
- The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns:
- at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace;
- at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home;
- and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.
What is the PAACC Framework?
- Personalization: Providing unique learning pathways for individual students
- Agency: giving learners opportunities to participate in decisions about their learning
- Authenticity: giving learners the opportunity to create for a real audience both locally and globally
- Connectivity: giving learners opportunities to experience learning in collaboration with their peers and experts, locally and globally
- Creativity: giving learners opportunities to make things that matter while building skills for their future
