eSchool News resource explores blended learning

Nov. 16, 2011 - PRLog -- Bethesda, Md. – eSchool News released a new Educator Resource Center (ERC) featuring the latest information and tools for today’s K-12 educators.

Sponsored by Connections Learning, “Transforming schools with blended learning” is a collection of free resources and articles compiled to help educators best determine how blended learning might meet the needs of their schools or districts.

Blended learning—which combines face-to-face classes with online courses—is quickly gaining ground in education. In fact, some studies suggest that blended learning, also called hybrid learning, offers a better academic experience than pure brick-and-mortar classes or online-only courses.

Whether students are out of school on extended absences, want to enroll in a higher-level course not offered in their local district, or need to recover academic credits, blended learning offers flexible solutions and different scenarios for students and teachers alike.

Topics in the ERC include the increasing demand for online learning, a deeper look at student-teacher ratios and five lessons from one of the nation’s best online teachers.
