Description

The CMC-ELT Blended Learning Model is a need-oriented framework that enhances previous distance education models "by adding the component of technology with distance education to create a more cost-efficient way of bringing the learning environment to the learners". It adopts a collaborative constructivist perspective associated with Dewey's principles of interaction and continuity, and uses text-based communication as its primary mode. The model was implemented through AIOU's Olive virtual learning environment, built in Moodle, providing tools for tutors to present materials and mark assignments, for students to manage progress and communicate, and for administration to produce reports.
