E-Learning, Blended Learning and Flipped Classrooms

Start with blended learning

Begin with the mind map that describes a language course combining face-to-face learning with technology. It gives you a starting point for thinking about how the two parts fit together. Then look at the Blended Learning maps that describe digital and online delivery. Compare their definitions and note what each map adds to your understanding.

The collection also includes maps covering models such as rotation, flex, labs and self-blend. Use their branches to organize the different models as you study.

Explore e-learning and flipped classrooms

The E-Learning mind map looks at foreign language learning and obstacles such as limited communication and interaction. Read it alongside the blended learning maps and consider how each resource describes learning with technology.

Flipped Classroom Content Workflow looks at using content made by someone else or creating your own. It also mentions places to find content and equipment such as a tablet or PC. Follow the branches to see the choices presented in the map.

Use the formats together

After reading a map, try explaining its main branches in your own words. Then open the blended learning flowchart and compare how it organizes the topic with the mind maps. The page also lists slides on e-learning and notes on the application of e-learning in engineering education. These offer other formats to explore as you study.

There are no quizzes listed on this page, so the maps can help you check your understanding by prompting you to recall ideas without looking at every branch.

Place the topic in its unit

This topic is one section of the Educational Technology unit in Education and pedagogy (incl. teaching methods, curriculum, educational psychology). The resources give you ways to explore learning models, delivery and content within that unit. Pick a resource that matches your interests and follow its connections.
