COVID-19 Quick View: Remote Learning Guidance & Resources

Blended learning integrates face-to-face and online resources to create a coherent learning experience. Learning happens across place and time, and all elements are combined fluidly and intentionally within a formal, “brick and mortar” educational structure. These in-person and technologically-enabled elements inform and amplify each other coherently and cohesively. In this topic, explore how educators do this through:

Blended Model Type

Blended learning classrooms employ different structural models to integrate in-person and online learning components. The Christensen Institute has developed a taxonomy to describe these models.
Schedule/Time

Blended and personalized classrooms often use time more flexibly, using non-traditional schedules to allow students to work at their own pace, alone, with peers, or in smaller groups.
Use of Space

In blended and personalized classrooms, educators use space (physical and digital) flexibly, adapting spaces to learning tasks and needs.
Extended Learning

In blended and personalized learning, students often access resources and complete learning work outside of traditional school boundaries and time.
