Blended Learning also known as hybrid learning is a teaching learning process which is a combination of both the online teaching learning and traditional classroom teaching learning. Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic the sudden and unplanned rise to digitalization and ICT enabled learning, there is an increase in demand of online learning. In the academic fraternity and students there is an increase in demand and acceptance of ICT enabled learning thus, Blended learning also known as Hybrid learning a combination of traditional and online teaching learning is the best method integrating technology along with the traditional classroom teaching learning method. This research paper discusses about the blended learning, its advantages and its disadvantages.

Blended learning is a revolutionary concept that embraces traditional classroom teaching and online/offline learning. Many studies have been conducted on blended learning; however, research on its effect on motivation with reference to personality and learning styles is scarce. Therefore, the present study set out to fill this niche. To this end, 33 university students from a private university in Northern Cyprus were randomly selected to participate in this study by filling out a questionnaire on the use of blended learning. The questionnaire was analyzed and frequencies of participants’ responses were calculated. To supplement the survey with qualitative data, an interview was conducted with ten of the participants on a voluntary basis. The results of both sets of data suggest that students’ personality and learning styles play a significant role in increasing their motivation for using blended-learning. Thus, based on these findings, it is suggested that in order to increase learners’ motivation, teaching materials and methods should be tailored according to their needs. The findings of the study are interpreted to have direct implications for syllabus designers and teachers.

Abstract Background: The extent that digital learning designs can improve learning outcomes has been increasingly emphasized in higher education over the last decade, but the research within physiotherapy education is limited. This study identified different types of digital learning designs and their effectiveness in physiotherapy education. Methods: The study was designed as a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized and non-randomized trials. A search of eight databases on digital teaching and learning technology was conducted. Study selection, methodology and quality assessment were performed independently by three reviewers. The included studies were mapped according to the types of digital interventions and studies. For interventions that were similar, the learning effects were calculated using meta-analysis. Results: Fifteen randomized and five control trials were included in the review; 8 of 20 articles were included in the meta-analysis. The main digital learning designs were blended learning, flipped classrooms, e-learning course designs and Mobil learning designs (apps) using different digital tools, software and learning platforms. The evidence from two meta-analysis showed statistically significant effects: flipped classrooms on knowledge acquisition, SMD of 0.41 (95% CI 0.20, 0.62) and websites (apps) on practical skills, SMD of 1.06 (95% CI 0.70, 1.42). A meta-analysis of website and knowledge acquisition favoured traditional teaching, SMD of -0.59 (95% CI -1.20, 0.03), but this was not statistically significant. Overall, the effects indicated that digital learning designs are more or equally effective than traditional classroom teaching for achieving learning outcomes. Conclusions The findings of this review show various use of digital learning designs in physiotherapy education, ranging from e-learning using digital learning resources to more complex and coherent flipped learning designs. The results indicate that these designs improved or was equal effective compared to traditional classroom teaching. The meta-analysis revealed a significant effect on student learning in favour of flipped classrooms and websites (apps). However, these results must be confirmed in larger controlled trials or randomized controlled trials. Further research should investigate how digital learning designs can be used to facilitate students’ learning of practical skills and behaviour as well as learning retention, learning approaches and preferences for studying in digital learning environments.

<p class="0abstract">The life of the common to the students have changed due to spread of COVID-19 9 all around the globe. All the educational institutions were also set to be functioned remotely following the global instructions to meet the challenges to combat the COVID-19. The of current inquiry is the explore the male and female learners on the use of mobile phones for Blackboard learn. The Study survey method to collect the data. 68 participants of the medical majors of the CFY formed the sample for the present study. The findings of the study indicate that learners preferred to use M-blackboard. The results also indicated that backboard which is a form of e-learning can be beneficial if it is used with the traditional classroom teaching to get the potential benefits of the software.</p>

The network curriculum is an important component of the omni-directional course resource construction. The key of the omni-directional course resource construction is how to combining the network curriculum and the traditional classroom teaching together efficiently. This paper puts forward the corresponding design principles of building a collaborative network curriculum based on the blended learning technology. The corresponding design principles includes emphasizing the teaching design strategy based on task-driven of the network curriculum tent presentation and emphasizing the learning situation strategy base on project- driven of the curriculum implementation strategies. With a series of security strategy, it realizes the powerful and practical cooperative network curriculum..

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a sudden drastic change in the teaching learning patterns globally. Educational institutes have shifted from the traditional classroom teaching to virtual classrooms. This transition is the need of the hour. It requires technical up gradation as well as better communication skills because the teacher and student are only interacting through a virtual platform. There are many difficulties that both teacher and students face during online teaching learning process. In this study we have tried to understand the perception of physiotherapy students towards E Learning. From the data received and analysed it was concluded that the physiotherapy students prefer traditional classroom teaching as it helps develop better hands on skills. Keywords: E-Learning, Physiotherapy Students, COVID-19 pandemic.

Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary states that education involves learning and then defines learning as the acquisition of knowledge or understanding through study, instruction, or experience.1 This is the best and broadest definition of the term I know of and the one that most closely informs what I do in my work as director of the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives at Texas A&M University. I consider any activity that provides opportunities for study or experience as education. In a special collections environment, this includes traditional classroom teaching as well as many other undertakings—exhibits, displays, guided and self-guided tours, . . .

With the rapid rate of innovation in software engineering, teaching and learning of new technologies have become challenging issues. The provision of appropriate education is a key prerequisite for benefiting from new technologies. Experience shows that typical classroom education is not as effective and efficient as it could be. E-learning approaches seem to be a promising solution but e-learning holds problems such as a lack of social communication or loose control on learning progress. This chapter describes a blended learning approach that mixes traditional classroom education with e-learning and that makes use of tightly integrated coaching activities. The concrete effects and enabling factors of this approach are discussed by means of an industrial case study. The results of the study indicate that following a blended learning approach has a positive impact on learning time, effectiveness and sustainability.
