The report then labels six types of blended learning approaches:•
face-to-face driver programs where teachers deliver most instruction in a
live classroom and use online activities to supplement or remediate what goes on
in the brick-and-mortar school;• rotation models where students
follow a schedule that alternates between face-to-face class sessions and
in-person instruction;• flex formats where most of the curriculum
originates online, but an on-site instructor provides instruction as needed in
individual and small group sessions;• online lab sessions where
students do work online, but in a computer lab at a brick-and-mortar school with
aides who offer supervision but little subject guidance;• self-blend
schools where students may take online courses a la carte to supplement
their brick-and-mortar school's curriculum; and• online driver
constructs where students receive most of the course online and independently,
but participate in required or optional face-to-face meetings.
