For Students
Increase student interest: when technology is integrated into school lessons, learners are more
likely to be interested in, focused on, and excited about the subjects they are studying. Subjects
that might be monotonous for some – like math and science, while also increasing information
retention.
Keep students focused for longer: The use of computers to look up information & data is a
tremendous lifesaver, combined with access to resources such as the internet to conduct research.
This engagement and interaction with the resources keeps students focused for longer periods
then they would be with books or paper resources, this engagement also helps develop learning
through exploration and research.
Provides student autonomy: The use of eLearning materials increases a student’s ability to set
appropriate learning goals and take charge of his or her own learning, which develops an ability
that will be translatable across all subjects.
Promote student ownership: Blended learning instills a sense of ‘student ownership over
learning’ which can be a powerful force propelling the learning, It’s this feeling of responsibility
that helps the feeling of ownership.
Allow instant diagnostic information and student feedback: The ability to rapidly analyze,
review and give feedback to student work, gives the teacher the ability to tailor his teaching
methods and feedback for each student while improving time efficiency.
Enables students to learn at their own pace: Due to the flexibility of blended learning and the
ability to access internet resources allows students to learn at their own pace, meaning a teacher
can help speed up the learning process or give more advanced resources if necessary.
