WGU D639 Task 3: Teaching in a Blended Environment | 2026 Update with complete solutions.
“Designing and Implementing Blended Learning for Student
Engagement and Achievement”
A. Blended Learning Environment Description
A blended learning environment combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online
learning experiences to create a flexible, student-centered approach. In this model, students
engage with both in-person instruction and digital tools that allow for personalized pacing,
collaboration, and deeper learning.
In this lesson, a station rotation blended learning model will be used in a middle school
classroom. Students will rotate through three stations:
1. Teacher-Led Instruction Station – direct instruction and guided support
2. Online Learning Station – independent digital activities using instructional technology
3. Collaborative Learning Station – peer discussion and problem-solving
This structure allows the teacher to provide targeted support while students work independently
and collaboratively, ensuring differentiation and engagement.
B. Learning Objective
Students will demonstrate understanding of the lesson concept by:
completing online and collaborative activities, and
applying knowledge in a final task
Students will achieve mastery with at least 80% accuracy, as measured by formative and
summative assessments.
C. Blended Instructional Strategies
1. Teacher-Led Instruction (Face-to-Face)
The teacher will introduce the lesson through:
, direct instruction
modeling examples
guided questioning
This ensures students understand key concepts before moving into independent or collaborative
work.
2. Online Learning (Digital Component)
Students will engage in online learning using platforms such as:
Google Classroom
Edpuzzle (interactive videos)
Kahoot or Quizizz (formative quizzes)
These tools allow:
self-paced learning
immediate feedback
differentiated instruction
3. Collaborative Learning (Peer Interaction)
Students will work in small groups to:
discuss key concepts
solve problems
complete shared tasks
This promotes:
communication skills
critical thinking
peer learning
D. Instructional Technology Tools
The following tools will be used to support blended learning:
