4. Rotation Model
The Rotation model is one in which
students rotate from online
instruction to face-to-face
instruction. This could be via a
flipped classroom approach, in
which students view lecture videos
at home and work on homework-
type problems in class, to a station
rotation model, in which students
rotate through stations, at least
one of which is online.

5. Flex Model
The Flex model is one in which
students work through complete
online curricula in an brick-and-
mortar classroom with teachers
there in person to help support
that work.

6. A La Carte Model
In the A La Carte model, students
are able to pick and chose between
entirely face-to-face courses or
online courses in any combination.

7. Enriched Virtual Model
The least used model is the
Enriched Virtual model, in which
students come to just a few face-
to-face sessions (maybe at the
beginning of the course and at the
end) and complete the rest of their
work online.

8. Choosing a Model
Why are you interested in
using blended learning in
your school/classroom?
What problem are you
trying to solve?
What role do you want
students to play in a
blended classroom?

9. Choosing a Model
What role do you want
teachers to play in a
blended classroom?
What technology/space
do you have available to
support blended learning?
