Study Notes

Blended Learning combines traditional and online learning.
Hybrid learning methods aim to optimize learning, combining in-person and online learning modules.
This approach allows learners to combine their professional life with education more efficiently.

Blended Learning encompasses various learning modes, integrating in-person and online activities.
It combines the flexibility of online learning with the interaction and support of face-to-face sessions.
It accommodates diverse learning styles and individual learner needs.
The flexibility of access to learning materials allows for personalized learning experiences at the convenience of the learners.
Blended learning allows educators to actively participate in the process and to customize the lesson in real time.

For Learners: Access to learning anytime, anywhere; flexible schedules; more individual attention; diverse learning resources; motivation and engagement.
For Educators: Enhanced and personalized pedagogical methods; more flexible and adaptable learning management; greater interaction with students; more possibilities for activities and feedback mechanisms.

An example of blended learning where traditional teaching methods are inverted.
Online resources (videos or readings) are used to introduce the course materials before the class meeting.
In-person and group activities serve to reinforce, discuss, and apply the materials.
This paradigm promotes better student interaction and provides immediate feedback.

Transforming existing courses into hybrid formats involves more than simply shifting materials online.
It requires a reassessment of the course design and resources to align learning objectives with the type of training.
Careful consideration of in-person and online activities is needed to balance learning objectives and participant needs for both online and face-to-face sessions.

Adults learn best when feeling they have control over their learning journey.
They often have a strong desire to apply learned knowledge to their professional lives.

Alternating Scenario: Combines in-person and online learning sessions, providing flexibility.
Parallel Scenario: Involves concurrent online and in-person activities designed for increased interaction and peer-to-peer support.
Autonomous Scenario: Focuses primarily on self-directed online learning with support for practical in-person sessions or projects.
