Blended learning mixes in-person teaching with online learning, so students learn part of the time with a teacher in the room and part of the time online, often at their own pace.

## Common models

- **Flipped classroom.** Learn the idea at home, practise it in class.
- **Station rotation.** Groups rotate between teacher time, online work and practice.
- **Flex.** Mostly online, with teachers on hand.

## What makes it work

The online part has to teach, not just play videos. A tutor that asks questions and a teacher who can see progress make the difference.

## Questions

**Is blended learning the same as hybrid?**

Close. Hybrid often means some students are remote at the same time.

**Does it need special tools?**

An LMS for the class and a good online practice or tutoring tool.
