Abstract

“Blended learning, also known as hybrid learning, is an approach to education that combines online educational materials and opportunities for interaction online with traditional place-based classroom methods.” This paper talks about blended learning and its 6 models and looks at the advantages and disadvantages of them. It also talks about how blended learning can be adopted in post graduate learning in Management. The biggest advantage with blended learning is that it takes the best of both offline and online learning models. It is very flexible and the learner can learn at his/her own pace. It is a very flexible system which can be customised according to the needs of the individual. Most of the data collected is secondary data. The cost of administering blended learning is slightly less compared to the conventional style of education.
