Blended Learning, Real Teaching
Blended learning refers to the combination of different learning environments, usually a traditional face-to-face classroom model and at least one form of technology-based instruction. Although initial implementation may prove challenging at first, the majority of students and teachers alike find significant benefits in adopting a blended learning approach.
