Top 6 Reasons To Use Blended Learning

Just in case you missed our previous blog post, Blended Learning is a formally structured educational programme where students use online course material combined with class-based teaching. As Blended Learning programmes take place both inside and outside the classroom, learners have greater freedom when it comes to how they plan, structure and carry-out their sessions - it’s easy to see why this type of teaching is becoming increasingly popular.

Here at Hexis Plus we think it’s great so let’s take a look at our top 6 reasons to use Blended Learning:

1) Keeps learners interested.
Blended Learning offers variety, private study, classroom teaching and the freedom to negotiate the course at whatever speed suits the learner. Students are far more likely to treat the learning process as a positive experience and not a restrictive chore. There is no “wrong” method to how the course is taken, the student is in control.

2) Personalisation of lessons.
Every student is different and blended learning Some learners may pick up information quickly using auditory skills,others might need to read material a few times to fully grasp a concept. Both types of learner are accommodated with Blended Learning and are subsequently empowered to reach their maximum learning capacity.

3) Data collection of a system.
Figures released by The eLearning Industry in 2015 showed that while 47% of teaching was still training room based in 2015 there has been a positive shift towards the adoption of Blended Learning. They’ve also found that 29.1% of training hours utilised Blended Learning in 2015, proving that more professionals are realising it’s valuable as an effective teaching method that maximises administrative efficiency and gathers real time data from all over the world.

4) Less admin, less paper.
The practicality of not having heaps of course material to lug around cannot be underestimated. Electronic devices are convenient, lightweight and user friendly. Learners are able to easily download teaching materials onto their device from any location, making Blended Learning extremely cost effective

5) Easier sharing of resources.
Many learners get distracted in a classroom setting when studying alongside their peers. This issue is partially removed by moving some of the learning experience online with blended learning. Online facilities make marking, sharing data confidentially and accessing course material easier.

6) Convenient and user friendly.
The convenient availability of a digital device that can be used for study at home, on the bus, in the car or stretched out on the sofa, away from peers, is a practical advantage offered by adaptive technology.


The hands on administration is minimal with the online section of Blended Learning, analytics are recorded with real time data and upload/downloads.
