The document discusses four models of blended learning: the naïve model, standard model, evolutionary model, and radical model. It then provides examples of various online tools and resources that can be used to embed ICTs in teaching and learning, including social networking, collaboration, sharing, communication, and assessment tools. The tools allow learning to extend beyond the classroom and help connect students globally.

6. Standard model Tries to increase communication Feedback Homepage with links Lecturer ensure relevant, up-to-date info Lecturer should respond timeously to postings

7. Evolutionary model Tries to solve problems of distance ed Lectures prerecorded “ Live” lectures on request Assignments electronic

8. Radical model Dispenses with lectures entirely Groups of students interact Minimal guidance provided by lecturer Assessment on students group presentations & comments
