Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow based on your understanding of the message. The styles of teaching and learning now a day go far beyond traditional pedagogic efforts within the four walls of the class room. Another style of learning which is used as a stand-alone style under circumstances is e – learning. Both these styles can be effectively combined. Such a combination is called blended learning. Blended learning integrates e – learning techniques including on line delivery of materials through web pages, discussion boards and e – mail with traditional teaching methods including lectures in – person discussions, seminars or tutorials. Blended learning may include m – learning (mobile learning) that takes place via wireless devices such as cell phones, Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) or laptop computers. Sometimes the term hybrid learning and mixed learning are used instead of blended learning.

49. Blended learning is a combination of:
i) Traditional learning and e–learning techniques
ii) Learning techniques used within the classroom
iii) Traditional learning, e–learning and m–learning
iv) Computer aided techniques and Personal Digital Assistants.

(A) i) and ii)
(B) i) and iii)
(C) iii) and iv)
(D) i) and iv)

Ans : (C)


50. The other terms used for blended learning are
i) Hybrid learning
ii) Mixed learning
iii) e – learning
iv) M – learning

(A) i) and iv)
(B) i) and iii)
(C) i) and ii)
(D) iii) and iv)

Ans : (C)
