Types of Flexible and blended Learning.

Types of flexible leaning.

1.     Self-paced Learning

o    Learners control the pace of their studies (e.g., online modules or recorded lectures).

o    Common in e-learning platforms like Coursera or Moodle.

2. Online Learning (Fully Online)

   • All content is delivered virtually with no face-to-face interaction.

   • Ideal for distance learners or working professionals.

3. Open Learning

   • Learning is free of many traditional constraints (no formal admission requirements, open schedules).

   • Often uses open educational resources.

4. Part-time Learning

   • Courses are spread over longer periods to accommodate other commitments like work or family.

5. Modular Learning

   • Learning is broken into short units or modules that can be taken independently or in combination.

Types of Blended Learning

Blended learning combines face-to-face and online methods.

1.     Rotation Model

o    Students rotate between online learning and in-person sessions on a fixed schedule.

o    Variants include:

§  Station Rotation (within a classroom)

§  Lab Rotation (students go to computer labs)

§  Flipped Classroom (students learn content at home, practice in class)

2. Flex Model

   • Most content is delivered online; teachers provide support as needed in person or remotely.

3. Enriched Virtual Model

   • Some face-to-face sessions are combined with a majority of online learning.

   • More flexible than traditional classrooms.

4. A La Carte Model

   • Students take one or more courses entirely online alongside traditional classes.

5. Project-Based Blended Learning

   • Combines online tools with in-person project collaboration and presentations.
