The fusion of classroom-based and online teaching styles is known as blended learning, or alternatively as hybrid learning, and students say that this hybrid style appeals to them more than either of the former options do now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How did we get to this point? More importantly, how can institutions stay abreast of new developments in the rapidly changing educational scene?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article explores the history and latest trends of blended learning systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How did we get here?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019ve been living in an increasingly digital world for some time now. When the pandemic arrived, that trend kicked into overdrive, accelerating digital adoption to an almost dizzying speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overnight, nearly every school and university saw its methods overhauled. In some cases, institutions were forced to deviate from their usual routines for the first time in hundreds of years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But on the heels of disruption comes opportunity, and educational organizations wasted no time in trying to maximize the teaching potential of various platforms, apps, and channels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We all know the result: a host of video conferencing platforms became household names. Learning management systems like Blackboard became even more essential than they already were.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then we entered 2021 and a sense of normalcy began to slowly return. Students were increasingly allowed to return to physical classrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students and educators wondered how best to integrate the advantages of virtual learning with those of in-person instruction, and they began considering various hybrid systems meant to do exactly that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe\" id=\"new-rc-subscribe\"  style=\"background-image:url('\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/ringcentral\/assets\/images\/temp\/subscribe.png')\">\n\t\t<button class=\"close js-popup-close\"><svg class=\"icon_close_mobile\" width=\"20\" height=\"20\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon_close_mobile\"><\/use><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__wrapper_text\">\n<h3 class=\"rc-subscribe__title h2\">Stay informed with RingCentral<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rc-subscribe__subtitle\">Subscribe to our emails for the latest blogs, events, and exclusive content on AI-powered communication solutions.

Nearly every other trend traces back to this ultimate goal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Educators have become accustomed to the flexibility and ease of communication that blended learning provides. They can access the Internet\u2019s wealth of knowledge with greater ease than ever before. With museums, libraries, and cultural venues posting much of their content online, educators can also craft rich and engaging curricula that allow students to interact with collections firsthand. Understandably, educators want to retain flexibility and supplementary options going forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Likewise, students are now accustomed to seeing traditional curricula supplemented with audiovisual materials from YouTube, Khan Academy, and other channels. For some, virtual channels are also a welcome relief from the social pressures that schooling often entails, allowing shy or quiet students to express themselves with greater confidence. Like educators, students also want to keep those advantages in the coming era.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blended learning systems offer the best way for them to do that, satisfying the demands of students and educators alike.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-50165\" src=\"\/us\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/blended-learning.png\" alt=\"RingCentral for education\" width=\"930\" height=\"620\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>How can schools capitalize on the blended learning trend?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart schools will capitalize on these new opportunities by experimenting with blending learning systems until they find a combination that works for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cExperimenting\u201d is a scary word, of course. New technology requires significant investment (in more ways than one). No school or university wants to waste time or risk its reputation by spending time and money on a method that doesn\u2019t work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But experimenting doesn\u2019t mean tossing resources into the void; there are smart ways to go about it, especially as we\u2019ve seen that blended learning <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">does<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bold institutions will be rewarded for bringing technology into the classroom and tackling the challenges of blended learning head-on.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not already prioritizing your IT department, this is a good time to start. IT personnel aren\u2019t just for fixing rickety projectors; that mindset won\u2019t fit in the coming years. Rather, IT should be seen as an essential complement to in-classroom educators, enabling and empowering them to explore alternative teaching channels as soon as they become available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not just IT, either. Even ordinary educators must deal with technology more often than ever before, and it\u2019s vital that they have the training and familiarity necessary to operate the necessary platforms and perform simple troubleshooting methods. It\u2019s the institution\u2019s role to ensure that educators have access to that training.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s time to reach outside the box. Educators must stop thinking in terms of singular technologies and start thinking in terms of integrated educational ecosystems\u2014i.e. how apps and platforms can interact with one another to create the most effective possible system. That\u2019s the key to blended learning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"rc-post-content-cta rc-post-content-cta_green\">\n<div
