Would you be willing to take a blended delivery (partially in person and partially online) post-secondary course? Why or why not? What would be some of the potential benefits and problems you foresee?
Answer: Yes, I would be willing to take blended Delivery(Offline+ Online Learning)
Explanation
Benefits:
More Flexible: it allows students to learn at their own pace and time, gives them the opportunity to work part-time , as well to take care of their own expenses.
Cost-Effective: The blended programs are cost-effective in comparison to only brick & Mortar Programs ( Only offline), hence more accessible to the wider population.
Better Clarity: Sometimes if the concept is not clear with online classes, it can be clear when offline classes happen after a regular intervals in blended mode.
Problems:
Weightage in Job : The weightage of full-time offline programs are musch greater than blended programs hence can lead to difficulty in finding a job.
Environment : The environment of offline class with a higher interaction level with teacher, friends , seniors cannot be imitated by the Blended program.
However, The Benefits are more in comparison to Problems associated with Blended Programs.
