What is blended learning?
Blended learning: a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part
through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control
over time, place, path and or pace
- Deliberate
- Not only online
- Not only physical classroom
Active learning --> cognitive theories
Student centered learning --> constructive theories
In what ways can you blend learning
1. Formal (structured, curriculum based) and informal (self-directed) learning
2. Workplace (real world practical context) and classroom (theory)
3. Instruction types (change from online to face to face)
Flipped classroom model: students prepare classroom tutorial at home and inn school
they apply the knowledge
,(Possible) advantages
- Authentic and varied online learning content
- Learners have more control over their learning
- Frequent testing effect
- Automated feedback
- Promotes ‘active learning’
- Combines instruction from multiple media
- Better access to education
- Cost reduction
(Possible) disadvantages
- More time consuming
Students: more time outside the classroom
Teachers: outside and inside class preparation
- More demanding for students’ Self-Regulated Learning (including motivation) and
(lack of) self-management
- Border between learning and home situation fades
Rather study at university than at home
- Less social interaction and connection
- Cognitive overload / tracking of multiple learning modalities / platforms
- Intergration and connection of offline and online content
When the teacher repeats the at home preparation because students did not watch
the online lecture
- Technical difficulties and access issues
Blended and flipped learning research and practice
Blended learning: 4 examples from practice
1. The flipped classroom: online – in class - online
2. ClinCaseQuest: more learning phases (prepare me, tell me, show me, let me, help
me)
, 3. Flex model: program where the content and instruction is delivered primarely
online. Students move in a indivitial schedule among diffirent learning modalities
4. Interteach: when there is a teacher shortage, there are online teachers when the
teacher is sick so the children aren’t send home.
Is blended learining effective to positively influence student learining?
What are posible key conditions for blended learning to be effective?
1. Alignment of online and offline components
2. Active learning ans student engagement
3. Teacher presence and guidance (important!!)
4. Clear expectatons and communication (deadline, feedback, assessment, enz)
5. Student motivationd and self-regulated learning skills
6. Quality of technlogy and infrastructure
7. Feedback and assessment intergration
How do we measure this?
Flipped learning and self-regulates learning
Why would flipped learning work?
- Flipping the classroom reduces cognitive overload
Because as a student you have more say about what you will learn, you have control
- Enhances motivation: increase of autonomy, competence and relatedness
Self-regulated learners: regulate and monitor their own learning by makeing use of
cognitibe and metacognitive strategies and simultaneously regulate their motivation to
perform these strategies
Self regulated learning insights from research
