10. Lecture Capture
• Video record the classroom lecture
• Make it available on the institution site
• Students download at anytime, anywhere in
the campus
• Review it as many times as they need to
• Can be the basis of a flipped classroom

14. Flipped Classroom
• Do homework in class (flip)
• Let students review lectures at home
• Spend class time in solving problems
• Sorting out questions they have
• Teacher is an interactive problem solver.

15. MOOC
• Massive Open On-line Courses
– Stanford, MIT, Harvard, UC Berkeley
• Coursera, Udacity
• Learnable
• Khan Academy

17. Blended Learning
• Mix traditional and on-line learning
• Traditional learning
– Bright students get bored
– Meant for the students around the mean
– Comparatively slow one get left out
• On-line courses lets students learn at their
own pace
• Can these two be blended optimally?

18. New Age Text Books
• Electronic format helps make text books easily
changeable
• Updated books can be delivered
immediately, anywhere
• Like set top boxes and other CE devices changes can be
delivered over the air
• Can be extremely customizable

19. Interesting Models
• Innosight institute has suggested some
interesting models for blended learning
• http://www.innosightinstitute.org/media-
room/publications/blended-learning/blended-
learning-model-definitions
• This could be the basis for arriving at a future
model that is effective

21. Rotation Model
• Rotation model
• Within a given course or subject students rotate on a
fixed schedule or at the teacher’s discretion between
learning modalities
• at least one of which is online learning
• Other modalities might include activities such as
– small-group or full-class instruction
– group projects
– individual tutoring
– pencil-and-paper assignments.
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 21

22. Flex Model
• Flex model
• content and instruction are delivered primarily by
the Internet
• students move on an individually customized, fluid
schedule among learning modalities
• teacher-of-record is on-site. The teacher-of-record or
other Adults provide face-to-face support on a
flexible and adaptive as-needed basis
– small-group instruction, group projects, and
individual tutoring.
• Face-to-face support may vary
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 22

23. Self-Blend Model
• Self-Blend model
• Students choose to take one or more courses entirely
online to supplement their traditional courses.
• Teacher-of-record is the online teacher. Students may
take the online courses either on the brick-and-
mortar campus or off-site.
• Differs from full-time online learning and the Enriched-
Virtual model. It is not a whole-school experience.
Students self-blend some individual online courses and
take other courses at a brick-and-mortar campus with
face-to-face teachers.
Debasis Das www.exemplarconsulting.in 23

24. Enriched Virtual Model
• Enriched-Virtual model
• A whole-school experience in which within each course
students divide their time between attending a brick-and-
mortar campus and learning remotely using online delivery
of content and instruction.
• Many Enriched-Virtual programs began as full-time online
schools and then developed blended programs to provide
students with brick-and-mortar school experiences.
• The Enriched-Virtual model differs from the Flipped
Classroom because in Enriched-Virtual programs, students
seldom attend the brick-and-mortar campus every
weekday. It differs from the Self-Blend model because it is a
full-school experience, not a course-by-course model.

• What is interesting is the new kind of
designations you see that relate to the
