Blended /Hybrid/Flipped classrooms
In this blog, we will take a snapshot look at some different styles of E-Learning classes rooms.
“Blended Learning” This term is used with courses or classes that mix face to face learning and time working online. The blended class offers flexibility in how and when students do work in mostly stress-free structures but will have at least one or more days of F2F as well in class help and the ability to work with other both in class and on social media Tucker C. (ND).
“Flipped Classroom.” This style of learning has similar characteristics to the “Blended Learning” the class is introduced to assignments (via prerecorded video online at home) The assignments viewed by learners will be discussed and completed in the F2F classroom. This style of class allows learners to have access to resources and be equipped when going to class with questions and answers for the homework to be completed TeachThought Staff (© 2018 - TeachThought.

“Hybrid learning” and “blended learning”; the terms are often used interchangeably The term “hybrid learning” is discussed in many terms such as mix-mode, melted, multi-method, integrated, blended, flexible, hybrid, e-learning, etc. Poon J. (2013). When reading the article by Poon J. (2013) the term hybrid learning was converted to a modified version of blended learning and or e-learning. It appears the term is interchangeable. We know that blended classrooms involve a mix of web-based learning mixed with F2F structured learning.
Many years ago, when attending JR college, I was introduced to computer use in conjunction with F2F at that time we were working on dial-up and cobalt platforms with dot ratios. The instructor was always hands-on and available in the class.
“The eLearning format that has the most advantages is the Hybrid Learning format because it uses the pros of the synchronous and asynchronous learning.” Pappas C. (2011).
1. Evaluation of your class or classes students will need to be done.
2. Survey learners, parents, and fellows, this should give you around the idea of how to make the switch and how to introduce the platform you have chosen. Most school classrooms that already converted will tell you that the informed parent will help conversion smoothly.
Summary:
It appears that most classrooms are moving to the hybrid/ blended format of the curriculum. The switch needs through the age and grade level of the students. Younger learners might need more structured class such as the flipped class where students will watch at home prerecorded videos and then reviewed in class with F2F help completing the assignment. Teachers need to understand and this is emphasized across most all research warns not to just dump your current curriculum into the cms and call it e-learning make sure your platform fits the type of classroom you are switching to.
