Self-blended model of learning

The self-blended model of learning (or self-blend model of learning) is a model of <a href="/facts/Blended_learning/5mSYQgdF">blended learning</a> in which students take self-directed <a href="/facts/Online_course/5lf2A2Vj">online courses</a> in addition to their traditional face-to-face <a href="/facts/Learning/lehEKRjC">learning</a>. It differs from blended learning models in which teachers assign online content and resources, since in self-blended learning it is the students who direct their own online learning. It is a highly flexible model that allows for advanced students to take classes with increased specialization, and for students who have fallen behind in subjects to catch up on fundamentals.
This model of blended learning is commonly practiced among <a href="/facts/High_school_student/GjEqd0fa">high school students</a>, who follow this approach because it gives them the opportunity to supplement their studies in the traditional classroom setting. College students may also take online classes which are not offered by their university, allowing them to gain additional knowledge while still benefiting from a traditional university setting. Furthermore, students can participate in self-blended learning at odd hours or during weekdays, which is often essential to working adults.
The self-blended model of learning is generally approached by students opting to take online courses outside of the time they spend on traditional courses. It tackles the problem of the courses or subjects which are not provided by their school due to reasons such as lack of funding or time, or lack of student interest.
Students take online courses either in a <a href="/facts/Brick-and-mortar/6YtP52r6">brick-and-mortar</a> campus or offsite. It is not necessary to have computers at home for students who use the self-blended model of learning, as they can access the internet at their own school computer labs or use local <a href="/facts/Libraries/hvdQNTtS">libraries</a> to complete their work. They can also use nearby <a href="/facts/Internet_caf%C3%A9/VuHmbKN1">cyber lounges</a>.
