Blended Learning Definition• Important for research• How to teach others (professional
development)• Implementation• Let’s start what it is not…

Teaching and Learning• What the student is
doing and where the student is.
What the teacher is doing and where the teacher is.
What and where the content is.
www.cue.org
Generally Defining Terms: “Teaching and Learning”
• Traditional = the way it has always been done – (e.g. teacher lecture, quarterly benchmark
testing, if students don’t get it, the teacher moves on, limited use of technology)
• Blended = use of technology, course management system, flexibility of time, student centered learning, and data to personalize learning for students
www.cue.org
Blended Learning Definition – Christensen Institute
A formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path and/or paceand
at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.
(Horn & Staker, 2013)

Ideal blended learning includes:
• Use of digital resources and tools are integral to content, curriculum and instruction and utilized on a daily basis
• Students engage with digital content on a daily basis (e.g. through a course management system or related tools)
• Students have some control and choice regarding content and pace
• Communication between teacher and students occurs both synchronously and asynchronously; in person and online in a variety of formats (e.g. video, email, etc.)
• Teacher utilizes real-time formative assessment data on a daily basis that allows for ongoing feedback and better individualized instruction for students
