This document discusses different learning formats: traditional/classroom, online/computer-based, and hybrid/blended. Traditional learning occurs at a set time and place, online learning occurs virtually anywhere anytime, and hybrid combines both. Each format has advantages - traditional has face-to-face interaction, online provides flexibility, hybrid offers elements of both - and disadvantages - traditional has inflexible schedules, online can be isolating, hybrid poses technical challenges. The document outlines best practices for designing successful online courses, such as setting clear expectations, actively engaging students, building community, and providing feedback and support.
