As the use of internet and technology becomes more and more popular, incorporating digital and online materials in education is apparently inevitable. Therefore, we have the idea of blended learning. It is a formal education program in which e-learning is combined with traditional classroom teaching and self-learning to create a more flexible learning environment for students to learn in their own pace.
Why blended learning?
- less expensive to deliver, affordable and saves time
- flexible - students can access to the materials from anywhere at any time
- students can access to global resources that suit their needs and levels
- students cam learn at their own pace so it can reduce stress and increase sense of satisfaction
- without face-to-face interaction, students may be more willing to interact with other learners and their instructors through email, discussion boards and chat room.
- can track the progress
- help students to develop knowledge of the latest technologies and the Net
