The concept of Blended learning supports the personalization of content. For every student as per their interest and requirements, thus improving learning outcomes for these young minds.
Another advantage of Blended learning is that unlike traditional learning. It encourages engaging and collaborative learning environments where students work together to find out, brainstorm, and solve problems. Teachers can interact with students via the web platform. Give feedback on their solutions, and help them improve their skills.
Design and inquiry-based learning environment
In India, classroom teaching is primarily teacher-centric which predominantly supports. Just a one-way flow of ideas and thoughts while students miss out on the chance to find out inputs from research administered. Their peers on the subject of interest. A discourse enabling collaborative classroom environment design.
Inquiry-based learning gets students excited about learning something new instead of grabbing content unenthusiastically. Typically, this is able to entail having four steps that involve students come up with questions on the topic matter they need to find out more about, then research the subject in school or as homework, present their findings in school and eventually reflect on what they learned as a result.
Digital Assessments
Digital assessments offer an enticing environment for college kids to find out and develop. Regular timely assessment may be a prerequisite to supply the knowledge required. To form minor ‘course corrections’ along the way as a faculty term progresses. Instead of the judge whether or not a student has reached his/her goal towards the top of the term. Besides, such assessment platforms are interactive in nature that give students more ways to assimilate the fabric and express their knowledge.
Traditional assessment practices seldom leave the scholars with avenues to find out of their peer’s problem-solving approaches and sometimes don’t give the grader ample insight into the students’ reasoning to their solutions. It doesn’t solve the prime purpose of evaluating students. E-assessments allow teachers to author rich interactive assessments and add videos, podcasts, or simulations to their tests. Digital assessments also map each question with certain parameters like learning outcomes and difficulty level that would help keep track of student’s learning and identify any gaps in their knowledge. It also provides immediate feedback to students.
Create, Experience, Don’t consume
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s imperative that we inevitably connect the tutorial content imparted within the classroom with the underlying motivation and draw parallels with real-life experiences. Creating an experience is far beyond grabbing content. Inquiry-based learning gets students excited about learning something new instead of grabbing content unenthusiastically. Typically, this is able to entail having four steps that involve students come up with questions on the topic matter they need to find out more about, then research the subject in school or as homework, present their findings in school and eventually reflect on what they learned as a result.
Introducing experiential learning-based tools and projects enable students to explore real-world problems, deeply engage in, and acquire authentic knowledge. This also builds into millennials, collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity. What children are learning today could also be irrelevant tomorrow. But the talents they acquire could prove relevant.
