Blended Learning Transforming the Factory Style of Education
Abstract
Blended learning is poised to transform the factory-style education model as it exists in American schools today. The blended learning theory of change is predicated on the belief that adding an online personalized learning element to traditional classroom education will provide improvements in student performance and achievement. In the era of No Child Left Behind, the average graduation rate nationwide is 78.2 percent, with greater disparities existing from stateto state. This article examines the potential of blended learning as a social innovation through the use of case studies and researchbased exploration of key issues.
