Blended learning
This term is used to describe the delivery of face-to-face class sessions using electronic media and with varying levels of face-to-face interaction. Blended learning can be delivered in two different ways:
- Synchronous learning*. This replicates the physical presence, planning, dynamics and assessment system of a traditional classroom within a virtual learning environment. In this case, attendance is facilitated via video conferencing or other means that allow interaction between the teacher and the student.
- Variable attendance. This is attendance that has been planned prior to the start of the course to deal with an exceptional situation. In this case, synchronous and asynchronous** techniques are used alternately.
Blended attendance shall apply only to face-to-face and/or blended courses in the event that they are affected by the implementation of exceptional measures ordered by the authorities that prevent physical attendance.
*Synchronous. This refers to training activities that take place in real time. Therefore, interaction between students/participants and teachers occurs simultaneously in time (on a specific date and time) and in space (physical or virtual, online or offline).
**Asynchronous. This refers to training activities in which students/participants and/or teachers do not coincide with one another in either time or space, and which may be carried out at any time, regardless of the participant’s
