The Clayton Christensen Institute

Blended learning is a formal education program in which a student learns:

  • at least in part through online learning, with some element of

student control over time, place, path, and/or pace;

  • at least in part in a supervised brick-and-mortar location away

from home;

  • and the modalities along each student’s learning path within a

course or subject are connected to provide an integrated learning experience.
