Abstract

The chapter provides an overview of blended learning, an instructional method that integrates traditional classroom instruction with eLearning experiences. Blended learning offers a flexible and dynamic learning experience that allows learners to benefit from the interaction and guidance of in-person instruction while also having access to self-paced, personalized eLearning content outside of the classroom. It discusses the various forms and methods of delivering blended learning, including flipped classrooms, web-enhanced courses, flexible labs, and combined modes. The chapter also discusses challenges associated with blended learning and highlights the benefits it offers for learners, teachers, and organizations. These benefits include improved student performance, enhanced teacher effectiveness, and cost savings for organizations. Finally, it provides practical strategies for implementing blended learning in the classroom and features case studies and examples of blended learning in education, such as Rocketship Education and Khan Academy.
