Reflections On The Blended Learning

Blended learning or Hybrid learning are the combination of the online or face to face approaches of learning.It is the effective comination of different modes of delievery, models of teaching and styles of learning (Procter 2003). Gilly Salmon's e-moderating model (Salmon,2000)describe a five-stage process, engaging the students with online communication technology. "There are many things that have to exist  in order to achieve the effective operation of learning via technology. One issye is to use of activities, to make students interact with each other and the E-moderator,rather than only accessing information such as handouts and presentation material."
In conversational framework , students has three types of opportunity to communicate with the students.Even teacher interact with the students and correct it if there is any misconceptions.There are some drawbacks. There is lack of attention to the management of learning and the need for learning negotiation between the students and the teacher.
Research Method offers a comination of pratical and theoretical enquiry;it is a means of generating and  proving scientific theory.There are some similarities between the Kolb's Experiential learning cycles and research methods.
"Blended learning is learning that is facilitated by the effective combination of different modes of delivery, models of teaching and styles of learning, and founded on  transparent communication amongst all parties involved with a course."
