Blended Learning“A formal education program in which a student learns: at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.” (Horn and Staker, 2013)

But… we are truly in the early stages of this field, thus…

The purpose of blended learning is more important than the technical

definition!

“Blended is a strategy for helping teachers achieve what they strive to do every day—deeply understand and enable each student they work with to reach the very highest levels of educational mastery.” (Powell, Rabbit, Kennedy 2014)
