Benefits of Blended Learning

Benefits For Students

• Blended learning provides students the opportunities to learn at their own pace.
• Blended learning gives students the ability to design their own learning environment and make changes as activities change.
• Blended learning allows students to drive the curriculum instead of the curriculum driving the students.
• Blended learning can also provide pathways for accelerated learning for students who are ready to move on sooner than others.
• Blended learning provides students multiple ways and opportunities to demonstrate mastery.
• Blended learning allows students to meet with their teachers in smaller groups for remediation and/or acceleration.

Benefits For Teachers

• Blended learning provides teachers the ultimate flexibility in presenting content. Complex topics can be presented in the classroom, while other subject matter can be available online.
• Blended learning gives teachers the ability to differentiate instruction and personalize learning for each student
• Digital content frees up time for small group instruction and provides better data to make instructional decisions. “Teaching to the middle” becomes less likely as teachers can reach every student effectively and efficiently.
• Realtime data and instant feedback on student progress allows teachers to intervene quickly to ensure a student is mastering a concept.
• In personalized learning environments, teachers are designers of their own classrooms, and therefore have the opportunity to innovate, learn new skills, and develop themselves as professionals.
