Blended learning combination mode – UGC NET Question

Blended learning deliberately integrates face to face sessions with online components to optimise learning outcomes. Students may attend physical classes and also participate in virtual discussions or complete digital assignments. This approach seeks to leverage the strengths of both environments. Therefore, the appropriate term is blended learning.

Option A:
Option A is correct because blended learning is widely defined in educational technology literature as the combination of traditional and online instructional methods.

Option B:
Option B, distance, learning typically occurs entirely away from campus and may not involve regular face to face sessions.

Option C:
Option C, correspondence, learning is associated with print based materials sent by post, which predates modern ICT based online learning.

Option D:
Option D, remedial, learning focuses on addressing specific learning gaps and does not necessarily involve any mixture of delivery modes.
