Millennium Post Delhi|New Delhi 07November2024
The focus of educational institutions must shift from simply monitoring attendance to evaluating meaningful learning outcomes
DR SANKU BOSE

The world of higher education is in a period of profound transformation. Where once higher education meant a rigid structure of classrooms, lectures, and strict attendance, the rise of blended and hybrid learning models presents a new and fresh opportunity. Today's college students, growing up in an age of constant connectivity and rapid technological advancement, demand more dynamic, flexible approaches that cater to their unique learning styles and aspirations. These models aim to create a flexible and dynamic learning environment that extends beyond the traditional education delivery paradigm. So, what are these new modes of learning? Let us briefly explore.

Blended learning is a hybrid approach that combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning components. It allows students to access course materials digitally while benefiting from in-person interactions for deeper discussion and understanding. In a typical blended model, students may watch video lectures or read resources at their own pace, then attend a class where they can dive into problem-solving or collaborative activities with peers and instructors. Hybrid learning is closely related but goes a step further. It involves even more integration of online tools, allowing students to choose between online and physical attendance, based on what suits them best. This flexibility supports students in managing their time and workload, catering to those who may need more control over their schedules.
