A course made up of both face-to-face and online contents is called what?

• A. Blended learning
• B. Hybrid learning
• C. Flipped learning
• D. Online-only course

Answer: (A)

Blended learning combines in-person instruction with online content to create a single, integrated course experience. The online portion supports and extends what happens in the classroom—through videos, readings, discussions, quizzes, and activities—that align with the same learning goals. The key is that both modalities are designed to work together, not as separate tracks, so students move fluidly between online and face-to-face activities toward the same outcomes. This differs from online-only courses, which have no on-site class time. Flipped learning is a specific approach within blended learning where students first learn new material online on their own and then use class time for application and practice. Hybrid learning is sometimes used synonymously, but it can imply varying models (like some students attending in person while others join online at the same time). In everyday use, the term that best describes a course with both face-to-face and online content is blended learning.
