Blended Learning Approach
Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online
educational and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based
classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and
students, with some elements of students control over time, place, path, or pace.
As a teacher blended learning is more efficient. Today blended learning
can help teachers to more accurately assess the student’s knowledge and help
to teach concepts more efficiently. Blended learning improves the efficacy and
efficiency of the entire learning process.
