3. BLENDED LEARNING DEFINED http://youtu.be/3xMqJmMcME0

4. The definition of blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online learning, with some element of student control over time, place, path, and/or pace; at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away from home; and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience. - See more at: http://www.christenseninstitute.org/blended-learning-model-definitions/#sthash.pRZUZTI5.dpuf

5. Theory Behind the Model • Learning modalities are the sensory channels or pathways through which individuals give, receive, and store information. Perception, memory, and sensation comprise the concept of modality. The modalities or senses include visual, auditory, tactile/kinesthetic, smell, and taste. • Researchers, including Reiff, Eisler, Barbe, and Stronck have concluded that in a classroom, the students would be approximately: • § 25-30% visual • § 25-30% auditory • § 15% tactile/kinesthetic • § 25-30% mixed modalities
