BL is important because it breaks down the traditional barriers of teaching, ones that don’t work for all students and now with access to present-day technologies and resources we can tailor the learning experience for each student. Blended learning also offers flexible time schedules that can be personalized to each student, offering them the ability to learn at their own pace.

At this time of pandemic, adapting and implementing Blended Learning is both an advantage and a challenge. An advantage because we were able to simplify and modify topics from the previous learning materials that we use. We learned to think of possible alternatives and activities that served as an avenue for the students to cope up with the situation. A challenge because of the factors affecting their academic performance. It is very evident that not all students have all the resources, access to internet and capacity to attend online classes due to geographical location. Nevertheless, blended learning opened the opportunity for the students to discover and familiarize online platforms and new methods which they can utilize in the future .

Although it is true that the pandemic has brought new challenges to the learning process, especially in schools anchored in traditional education, it is also true that distance learning is not a new concept that appeared to face this pandemic. Remote learning appeared in the 19th century. In Europe, the first record appeared in 1833 in an advertisement published in Sweden that featured a correspondence course in the area of ​​accounting.
Much has evolved since that moment. In Portugal, for example, in the 70s and 80s we had "Telescola".  This kind of learning was created to combate illiteracy, allowing children who lived in inhospitable and distant places to increase their school degrees, and in many cases to learn how to read. This student s attended classes through a television set with pre-recorded contents. The knowledge verification  were accompanied by a teacher, normally responsible for supporting several degrees, usually between 1st and 4th degree.
Nowadays, Blending Learning has another purpose, allowing people to look for more training, more knowledge according to their interests and according to their schedules and free time. Today, this bet on blendend learning makes more sense than ever, since the tendency for people to look for increase their knowledge and improve their skills simultaneously with their professional and personal life and blendend learning allows that. On the other hand, with the  knowledge available on the web, a new way of looking at teaching has emerged, the teacher is no longer the central and only figure that transmits knowledge, but he became the mediator between the available knowledge, the areas of interest of his students and the most effective way for these students to obtain the knowledge they are looking for in a targeted way.

The way in which blended learning is delivered is usually dependant on circumstances, making a universal, all-encompassing definition hard to establish. Wikipedia offers the following definition:

“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 elements of student control over time, place, path, or place.”

A blended learning model is undoubtedly a great way to augment the learner’s experience, but its advantages go beyond that. Whether you’re training employees, partners, customers or planning compliance training, organizations using blended learning will reap many rewards. Let’s take a look at some of the benefits for learners and organizations:

Benefits for learners

Blended learning offers the learner convenience and flexibility; they have the ability to control their learning pace and learn remotely.

Academic research suggests that blended learning gives learners a more comprehensive understanding of the course content.

Because blended learning allows learners to interact with instructors and fellow learners, social learning is supported.

Blended learning is a way to redesign our courses by combining physical and virtual instruction, synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities. This approach aims at uniting the best features of in-class teaching with the best features of online learning. This will in turn increase students’ active participation and self-directed learning opportunities. Blended courses will help us improve students’ social interaction, reflection, higher order thinking and problem solving. Using collaborative learning applications such as social networking sites, blogs, and wikis can favour student learning, since they can act as means of increasing the level of student engagement with course concepts, their peers, and us, leading to their increased success and satisfaction.

For me blended learning is important because I would like to provide to my participants not only information but I would like to practice and apply the information that I provide them.

Of course, it is important to generate and keep the motivation in my students thus I think that blended learning is the best way to do it!
