OD/C/7250-FAB II (E-learning Resource)

Flexible and blended learning are educational approaches that combine online and face-to-face instruction to create more adaptable and student-centered learning experiences. Flexible learning gives students more control over when, where, and how they learn, often through self-paced online options. Blended learning is a specific type of flexible learning that formally combines online and in-person teaching, creating a hybrid environment with both digital resources and traditional classroom interaction.  
 
Flexible learning
  • Focus: Student autonomy and control over their education. 
     
How it works: Allows students to choose their learning pace, style, and even delivery method (online, blended, or traditional). 
 
Examples:
A self-paced online course that offers tutoring and online resources. 
 
A course where students can choose between online and in-person review sessions. 
 
Blended learning
Focus: 
A structured hybrid environment that combines online and face-to-face learning. 
 
How it works: 
Integrates online materials and activities with traditional in-person instruction, providing both digital flexibility and direct social interaction. 
 
Examples:
Flipped classroom: Students watch lectures online at home, and class time is used for discussions, problem-solving, and hands-on activities. 
 
Web-enhanced courses: Regular in-person classes are supplemented with online activities like quizzes, forums, or simulations. 
 
Flexible labs: Students complete lab work at their own pace in a learning commons area, with support available as needed.
