Blended learning is the combination of digital content and activity using a technology. It is a part through online learning which some element of student control over time, place, path and pace and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.

Blended Learning Model :
•    Face-to-Face Driver
Face-to-face teachers deliver most of the curriculum. A physical teacher employs online learning in a technology lab or the back of the classroom to supplement.
•    Rotation
Within a given course, students rotate on a fixed schedule between self-paced online learning and sitting in a classroom with a face-to-face teacher.
•    Flex
An online platform delivers most of the curriculum. Teachers provide on-site, as-needed support through in-person tutoring or small group sessions.
•    Online Lab
An online platform delivers the entire course, but in a brick-and-mortar location often students who participate in an online lab program also take traditional courses.
•    Self-Blend
Students choose to take remote online courses to supplement their school’s traditional curriculum. This model of blended learning is extremely popular among high school students.
•    Online Driver
An online platform and teacher deliver all the curriculum. Students work remotely and face-to-face check-ins are either available or mandatory.

Teaching Roles :
The teacher or usually called as the facilitator focus on four key areas:
-    Development of online and offline course content
-    Facilitation of communication with and among students
-   Guiding the learning experience of individual students and customizing material wherever possible to strengthen the learning experience
-    Assessment and grading

Blended learning model uses the classroom time for activities that benefit the most from direct interaction. Traditional education (especially at the college level) tends to place an emphasis on delivering material by way of a lecture, while in a blended learning model lectures can be videotaped ahead of time so the student can watch on their own time. The classroom time is more likely to be for structured exercises that emphasize the application of the curriculum to solve problems or work through tasks.
