Education Technology, UK: Cognizant’s Senior Client Account Director, Education Says Blended Learning in Classrooms Redefines the Role of the Teacher

“While retaining the traditional student-teacher format, it breaks the ‘one-size-fits-all’ model by taking education beyond the physical classroom and allowing students to learn anytime, anywhere,” says Rachael Hartley. “The role that blended learning can play within classrooms, redefines the role of the teacher, offering them more flexible delivery options, depending on the content, subject, and capabilities of the students.” Extracts:

“This trend means educators can focus on student understanding, rather than the delivery method itself.

The combination of traditional teaching and technology should be used to meet the preferred learning style of students, as well as supporting teachers.

Technology can provide teachers with information on the progress and requirements of students, which maximises face-to-face contact and helps staff to design courses that allow more flexible delivery.

Ultimately, technology works best when it supports the true essence of education and aids teachers in helping students assimilate skills.

In the future, blended learning will utilise more technological advances.

The term blended learning has been around for some time, but it has yet to embrace the potential of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality.”
