6-MODES OF LEARNING

• Individualized Instruction


  Instruction tailored to address individual needs, allowing learners to develop critical thinking, creativity, and self-direction.
• Rationale of Individualized Instruction


  Based on the uniqueness of each human being, aims to help learners address their own needs, think critically, and become independent.
• Nature of Individualized Instruction

  Involves instructional components like setting description, objectives, subject matter, teaching-learning experiences, and assessment plans.
• Different Strategies of Individualizing Instruction

  Includes self-directed discovery learning, independent study, learning contract, modular instruction, audio/video-tutorial instruction, and programmed instruction.
• Distance Education


  A form of education where the student is physically and/or temporally separated from the teacher, learning independently.
• Taxonomy of Distance Education


  Classified into traditional classroom instruction and distance learning, with subdivisions based on interaction levels.
• Two Major Categories of Distance Education

  Correspondence-based and Telecommunications-based, differing in interaction levels and communication methods.
• Technologies used in Distance Education

  Include traditional mail, fax, telephone, text, graphics, audio, video, and internet technologies like email, course management systems, and videoconferencing.
• Generations of Distance Education

  Categorized into first generation (correspondence), second generation (multimedia), and third generation (interactive, multimedia) distance education.
• Growth of Distance Education

  Expanded in the mid-1990s due to the internet, affordable computers, and demand for flexible learning, leading to various labels like online learning and e-learning.
• Advantages of Distance Education

  Include learning flexibility, 24/7 access, self-paced learning, gaining ICT skills, and learning outside the classroom.
• Disadvantages of Distance Education

  Involve costs, lack of immediate feedback, social isolation, and the need for equipment and facilities.
• Blended Learning


  Integration of face-to-face and computer-mediated instruction methods to optimize learning outcomes.
• Different Concepts Denoted by Blended Learning


  Combining web-based technologies, pedagogical approaches, instructional technology, and job tasks to enhance learning.
• 3 Design Approaches of Blended Learning

  Low-impact blend, medium-impact blend, and high-impact blend, varying in the integration of online components and traditional activities.
• Factors that Influence Selection of the Design Approaches

  Include experience in blended learning, traditional course teaching, technology integration knowledge, confidence, and institutional support.
