Blended learning – the best of both worlds
Seamlessly integrate your virtual and physical classroom with CYPHER
Seamlessly integrate your virtual and physical classroom with CYPHER
Fitting learning into a fixed schedule is sometimes like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Everyone learns concepts on their own timelines. Questions, while important, prolong lessons. And sometimes, it just takes longer to explain concepts than you anticipated. That’s where blended learning comes in. It allows teachers to archive content so students can revisit it when they need a refresher or more time to grasp content. However, trying to accommodate students both virtually and physically is no easy task.

The green dot feature –
blended learning’s new best friend
The green dot feature, only found at CYPHER Learning, signals activity within courses, groups, and modules to foster better human connections. Its size and pulse speed directly reflect activity levels in different platform areas. Teachers can choose whether the green dot ensures anonymity or displays active student presence.
Gaining the benefits of blended learning
In the evolving landscape of education, schools are increasingly turning to blended learning for its remarkable ability to enhance the educational experience.
One of the core advantages of blended learning is its emphasis on improved personalization and flexibility. This approach tailors the educational journey to meet the unique needs, learning styles, and paces of individual students. It also offers flexibility in scheduling, allowing students to engage with their studies at times most convenient for them. This aspect of blended learning is particularly beneficial for students balancing educational pursuits with other commitments, ensuring that education is accessible and adaptable to every learner's lifestyle.
Another significant benefit of blended learning is the increased level of student engagement and the promotion of interactive learning. By integrating a variety of digital tools and resources, such as interactive modules, videos, and e-books, blended learning transforms the traditional classroom into a dynamic learning environment. This approach not only makes learning more engaging but also encourages active participation through projects and discussions. Such active learning strategies are key to heightening student interest and motivation, fostering a more immersive and interactive educational experience.
Blended learning provides enhanced access to a wide range of learning resources and continuous learning opportunities. Outside of school hours and away from the physical campus, students still have access to lessons and materials, allowing increased flexibility and greater accessibility of resources. This also builds a more equitable learning experience, providing extra learning opportunities for those who are struggling.
Hybrid learning vs. blended learning – what’s the difference?
Blended learning is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student.
Hybrid learning, also known as hybrid courses, refers to a teaching model that combines traditional classroom experiences, experiential learning objectives, and digital course delivery that emphasizes using the best option for each learning objective.
