How to structure your curriculum ? E-learning VS Blended learning

Written by Benjamin Robert | Jan 1, 1970 12:00:00 AM

Online education is rapidly becoming one of the most cost-effective means to educate the world’s rapidly expanding workforce. The most important principle for designing vibrant eLearning is to see the eLearning framework not as an information layout but as constructing an experience.

What is e-learning?

The concept of e-Learning revolves entirely around the concept of online learning. Like in a live class, students progress sequentially through the course and interact with classmates and the instructor to varying degrees.

What is Blended Learning?

By leveraging technology as well as meeting face-to-face to discuss and learn the critical material for the course, blended learning allows students and teachers to create effective classes that are both effective and efficient.

Selecting between e-Learning and blended learning options

  • What type of material will this class cover? What is the context of the material and what role will technology play?
  • Will this class work best entirely self-paced, largely self-paced with facilitator involvement, or in a blended learning environment?
  • How important is it for the teacher to interact with the students face-to-face, and for the students to interact with each other?
  • How well does the class material integrate with technology?
  • Is the goal of the class to convey basic knowledge or to improve students’ critical thinking skills through interaction and active learning?
