The role of blended learning in advancing education ~
During the pandemic, many schools around the world were forced to shift from physical to virtual classrooms in a matter of a week. This quickly sparked debate among academics and industry leaders about the tenets of traditional learning versus that of online learning, at a time when education continuity was critical.
Blended learning is the best of both worlds and has the potential to transform the education system. Blended learning combines online and offline approaches to teaching and learning. Through this approach, learners can access education resources via online and offline platforms. While this approach is quite beneficial, it presents unique challenges in the education landscape – especially in a digitally divided South Africa.
However, what good is a digital device if you don’t have the power to charge it? Loadshedding has been a constant factor in our lives for many years and is expected to remain a part of our lives for the next two years at least.
Despite these hurdles, blended learning offers numerous advantages in South Africa. One advantage is its ability to increase access to education for a wider spectrum of pupils, especially those who live in rural or remote areas. Another benefit for learners is the ability to work at their own pace and concentrate on the areas where they need the most assistance.
