Blended learning, sometimes referred to as blended or hybrid learning, is a teaching and learning model composed of face-to-face classes or a tutorial component, combined with an online learning component. According to data from the Texas Adult Education Management System (TEAMS), adult learners who participate in blended learning outperform students who only attend a traditional classroom, as well as students who spend more than 50% of their contact hours at a distance.
