  1. Supporting Student Success Through the Use of Blended Learning FilimonTsionas ADED 4F35 Assignment #3, Faculty of Education, Brock University, St. Catharines, Ontario Online Learning It is identified that without proper online learner-to-learner communication and cooperation, students would feel disconnected and isolated because sharing ideas with classmates was difficult without traditional face-to-face interaction (Steinman, 2007, p. 48). Workplace Blended Learning Kim, Bonk, and Teng, (2009) identified that the blended learning delivery modality, within the context of the workplace environment, will become a popular mode of learning in Western countries, but also in Asia; and it is thought that it is plausible that 80-90% of colleges and corporate training facilities will incorporate blended learning with an estimated one billion learners (p. 300). Introduction In order to support today’s adult learner in the new knowledge economy, the adult learning paradigm is shifting from teaching to learning as we try and connect andragogy to technology. In order to support this change in delivery, face-to-face cohort lectures have been combined with online learning to create blended learning. Technologies such as mobile, digital inking, laptops, etc., are used to support student success. http://www.straight.com/news/computers-stolen-dorothy-lynas-elementary-school-north-vancouver http://www.magrathelementary.ca/Gr.%205%20Computers.php 5HT2R-GFP A Blended Learning Conclusions The combination use of online and face-to-face learning has positively impacted adult education and student academic success. It can be presumed, that blending learning has now created an adult learning environment that has equated to benefits measured by increased student achievements. Increased study must be additionally conducted in the field of online and conventional classroom techniques to fully emphasize the opportunities in the future. Students Experiences with Blended Learning Blended learning provided a means to improve reflected learning because the study’s feedback from the students identified that the learning was now personally significant (Cooner, 2010, p. 272). Students Perceptions of Blended Learning Creating teamwork skills, students could then adapt learning by critical examination of their problems through dialogue and negotiation (Pombo, Loureiro, and Moreira, 2010, p. 219).
