Blended learning intentionally integrates face-to-face instruction with online components in one course for flexibility and enhanced engagement.

Option A:
Isolated implies separation, opposite to integrated face-to-face + online design.

Option B:
Remedial refers to extra support for weak learners, not delivery mode integration.

Option C:
Blended is the standard term for combining face-to-face and online learning in a single course.

Option D:
Rote is a learning approach (memorisation), unrelated to mixed delivery modes.

Blended learning integrates conventional classroom methods with online components such as LMS based activities, forums and digital resources. It seeks to leverage the strengths of both face to face interaction and ICT mediated learning. This approach supports flexibility and richer learning experiences. Therefore, the term that fits is blended learning.

Option A:
Option A is correct because blended learning is widely defined as a mix of face to face and online learning modalities. It is a core strategy in ICT integration in higher education.

Option B:
Option B, traditional, learning usually refers to purely face to face instruction with limited or no online components. It does not capture the combined model described.

Option C:
Option C, rote, learning emphasises memorisation without deep understanding and is unrelated to the mixture of delivery modes.

Option D:
Option D, programmed, learning involves sequenced instructional materials and may be self paced but does not necessarily combine classroom and online activities.
