Blended learning
What is it?
Any time a student learns at least in part at a
supervised brick-and-mortar location away from
home and at least in part through online delivery
with some element of student control over time,
place, path and/or pace.

The question
© International Baccalaureate Organization
Should we blend?
What are the right
ingredients?
![Page 21: Blended learning: What is it? Why do it?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020717/568c0e951a28ab955a910014/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Considerations
• Why blend? What do we hope to achieve?
• Which courses are best suited for blended learning?
– More than putting your classroom online
– Seamless integration of F2F/Online

Considerations
© International Baccalaureate Organization
• What resources do we have and do we need?
– Research supports that blended learning requires more teaching and planning time
• Strategies to help students effectively process online content

If we build it…

BYOT: Bring your own technology
Will ownership of the learning process
increase if students use a device of their
own choosing?
![Page 24: Blended learning: What is it? Why do it?](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022020717/568c0e951a28ab955a910014/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Cultural shift
Breaking ranks
A digital conversion can only be accomplished if the culture allows it – no long-term significant change can occur without creating a culture to sustain that change (NASSP)
