Blended learning can be defined as the combination of multiple approaches
to pedagogy or teaching. For example:- self-paced, collaborative or inquiry-based
study. Further to this blended learning can be facilitated through the use
of 'blended' virtual and physical resources. Examples include combinations
of technology-based materials and traditional print materials.
Blended Learning is learning which combines online and face-to-face approaches.
The following material resulted from an ANTA-funded project which set out
to investigate.
LAMS is a revolutionary new tool for designing, managing and delivering online
collaborative learning activities. It provides teachers with a highly intuitive
visual authoring environment for creating sequences of learning activities.
These activities can include a range of individual tasks, small group work
and whole class activities based on both content and collaboration.
