The
article that I chose is in title, “Face –to-face or Online? Choosing the Medium
in Blended Training” This article is about choosing the right online learning
to combine with face-to-face learning. The author gives step by step
instructions in choosing the medium in Blended Training. The first is to know
the purpose and strategies of learning method (Yelon, 2006). The instructor
need to decide what part of the learning need to be taught face to face what
part is for online learning. The second
one is “Assessing Motivation to Restructure.”
Knowing when to replace face to face learning with
online learning is required.
Instructional method
should motivate learning to online for specific function and information
(Yelon, 2006). Step three is “Checking Media Compatibility.” The use of face learning should be comparable
to achieve the goal of the learning. Step four is “Accounting for Resources”
(Yelon, 2006). Instructor need to consider the resources that need to complete
the task. These step combined will ensure the success in using blended
Learning.
The
use of both face-to-face and online learning require learner to think outside
of the box. The traditional way of learning has been implemented into the 21st
way of learning. As head of the after school program in community learning to
combine face-to0face and online learning from the peer reviewed article able me
to use the still to ensure that my students receive the best of both world of
learning. The use of technology to deliver learning can ensure all students be
a participant in the learning process. Choosing the right technology tools will
determine you students learning outcomes.
