Blended Learning

Today, distance and blended learning programmes are becoming more prevalent around the world, as technology advances and students look for greater flexibility and accessibility with education. It particularly serves students who are employed full-time or are remotely based and do not wish to compromise on gaining a high-quality accredited education.

Blended learning offers the perfect solution and combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction with traditional classroom-based methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, where students are assessed by means of assignments, exams and capstone projects or thesis. In this method, students receive the benefits of distance learning and are secure in the knowledge that the degree and curricula are approved and accredited by concerned authorities.

Distance learning is not necessarily easier to implement than traditional classroom learning as lecturers still need to prepare the course work. The internet backbone and infrastructure also need enhancement, so that students have a seamless experience from their homes. All these elements have additional costs attached.

With any form of distance learning, it is imperative to ensure that all assessments and exams follow a strict academic governance process.

Key takeaways from distance and blended learning

Flexibility

Students can study on their own terms without travelling long distances to get to classes. With the blended learning approach, complex topics can be presented in the classroom, while other subject matter is made available online.

Learning without geographical boundaries

Students can complete a distance-learning course from anywhere in the world. International students can still enroll with a top-ranking university without having to apply for student visas.

Quality Education

Distance learning programmes are usually dynamic and of high quality but need research to identify the educational institution that is the right fit. In a blended learning system, the university is usually accredited by the relevant local, regional and federal bodies, as well as professional accreditation organisations.

Personalisation

Distance learning programmes are more personalised – students can work at their own pace, review and make decision about what to do. Discussion themes are often customised around a specific job or interests.

Independent learning

Distance learning shapes students to become independent learners, enabling them to develop self-discipline, persistence and time-management skills - crucial in both personal and professional life.

Self-paced learning

Self-paced learning allows students to quickly revise materials they already understand, and devote adequate time and attention to more challenging skills and new information – studying at their own speed and preference.

Join conversations

Students can join online conversations and review their classmates' comments/ feedback throughout the day.

Lecturer / Tutor support

Students are guaranteed to receive all the necessary support from their lecturers and tutors as if they were on campus.
