Blended Learning
The main concept of blended 
learning is to make better 
use of the new-age 
technology to bolster a 
student’s exposure. 
Educational organizations all 
over the globe are realizing 
the inherent advantages of 
adopting a robust blended 
learning approach.
6 Types of Blended 
Learning model that can 
be incorporated 
successfully into the 
classroom
1. Face-to-Face Driver Model
Of all the blended learning 
models, face-to-face driver is 
the closest to a typical school 
structure. This model works 
best for diverse classrooms in 
which students are 
functioning at various levels 
of ability and mastery.
2. Rotation Model
This form of blended 
learning includes any 
course or subject in which 
students rotate—either 
on a fixed schedule or at 
the teacher’s discretion—
among learning 
modalities. At least one 
of which is online 
learning.
3. Flex Model
The flex model of blended 
learning requires one-to-
one technology access. The 
teacher of record is on-site, 
and students learn mostly 
on the brick-and-mortar 
campus, except for any 
homework assignments.
4. Online Lab Model
The online lab is a model 
of blended learning that 
characterizes programs 
that rely on an online 
platform to deliver the 
entire course but in a 
brick-and-mortar lab 
environment. Students 
purely learn online in this 
model. Professionals – 
who aren’t necessarily 
teachers – supervise.
5. A La Carte Model
This model combines face-to-
face instruction with an 
elective online course 
chosen by the learner 
according to their interests 
or needs. This model is 
gaining popularity in high 
schools because it increases 
options by giving students 
the opportunity to take 
classes beyond what is 
already offered at their 
school.
6. Enriched Virtual Model
In this model, learning is 
divided between online and 
offline components. This 
model allows students to 
divide their time between 
attending a brick-and-mortar 
school and learning remotely.
Blended learning 
can be implemented in many 
unique ways providing the 
scope for more 
individualized instruction.
