What is Blended Learning (BL)?
Blended Learning (BL) courses, also known as hybrid courses, are courses which combine the traditional classroom experience with an online learning experience. While a BL course requires the same time commitment as a regular course, course hours are split so that half take place in the classroom and the other half consists of web-based activity. The BL model recognizes that there are advantages to both face-to-face classroom and online environments. By introducing BL courses at FIT, the college aims to mix the strengths of both settings and, as a result, provide a new and meaningful learning experience. BL courses meet regularly in the classroom, but the semester hours add up to of a regular course.
