The idea of blended learning is that some students can benefit from doing part of their learning in a digital environment, and part of it face to face. The benefits of blended learning include the fact that many students can learn best independently, on their own time frame, and via interface with digital technology. At the same time, learning done in this virtual way is often best consolidated by in-person interactions. In many ways, blended learning combines the best of both worlds.

Blended learning has seen growth over time, largely because of the increasing accessibility of technology and ongoing interest in making use of digital learning technologies. Many educational advocates have spoken to the advantages of blended learning in the classroom , such as student-centered instruction, easy data collection, and increased engagement. As with any educational model, of course, blended learning should be used sensibly and thoughtfully, with an eye toward enriching student learning.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     by Daw Nu Nu Wai
