You might be thinking it’s a new term in the educational industry but no, you are wrong. The idealogy behind this term first emerged in the late 60s but the term gained a specific meaning in 2006 after the release of a book on this term. So, originally blended learning is a hybrid approach of learning in which students get to learn through traditional face to face interaction and with the application of modern technology (e-learning). The generation Z is dwelling in a technology drenched world. This kind of learning helps to engage tech-savvy students and make learning interesting. With technology, the education sector is also witnessing dynamic changes for the good. Blended learning satisfies the requirements of the contemporary education system. Some of the ways in which Blended learning is serving our country’s students and teachers and the education system are enlisted below: 

1. Engagement 

Teachers generally face this problem while teaching. Students do not concentrate on what the teacher is speaking. They don’t find it interesting. The reason can be traditional teaching methods. A technology equipped lecture with interesting twist and turns can easily attract the attention of students. Instead of copying or writing notes, students can be engaged through discussions and forming opinions. 

2. Time is precious 

In a student’s life, one resource is always scarce. It is time. The more time you will save, the more you can focus on more critical topics. So, instead of filling notebooks with notes and material, that material can be directly posted on any online portal from where every student can access that. That will definitely save time for both teachers and students. And one more thing, there is no uncertainty of losing that material. 

3. Effective Communication 

With millennials, we have witnessed a lot of modifications in communication. And modern students generally prefer to be communicated over digital platforms than personally. So, according to the needs of students, teachers can select the mode of communication either digitally or physically. And this communication can take place anytime. You do not have to postpone your learning until your school reopens. 

4. Saves Money 

Schools can readily optimize return on investment by avoiding unnecessary costs while integrating online learning into the curriculum. It will reduce your travel expenses. If you want to learn from a foreign institute, blended learning will definitely gratify your budget. Since the study material is provided online, you can avoid the cost of notebooks and books. 

5. Flexibility 

The strict timetable is never student-friendly. We all want flexible schedules. Blended learning is a student-centric approach to learning. They can learn and understand according to their own pace. They have the learning material online which they can access anytime. Teachers also find it comfortable as they can present the material in front of students anytime. 

Blended Learning has gained importance in this technology equipped world because it breaks the walls of traditional learning. Its personalized application and flexible schedules attract students the most.
