Came across this term while I was blog-surfing...
This kind of learning incorporates both virtual and physical resources when delivering instruction or lessons. I guess this is very much what we are trying to accomplish in the Singapore education system right now, considering the fact that Singapore has jumped on the bandwagon for the fusion of technology with education.
Education also extends to the E-government approach where the Singapore government is trying to utilize the online platform to disseminate information or instruction to the citizens.
However, I'm not too sure if everyone is ready to hop onto the bandwagon or end up being dragged along by it...
As much as the E-government sites claim to cut down the hassle of having to travel to certain government bodies to execute certain administrative issues... With the digital divide, there are many still struggling with digital literacy.
For example, the elderly would have problems going online and completing the tasks of either filling up e-forms or settling e-payments, thus end up going down to physical government bodies eventually.
Alrighty... enough ranting, not helping to solve the problem hur... hAha, highlited this because my parents had to travel to these governemnt bodies several times just to get/ claim some stuff.
I believe these push for the integration of technology and learning are pretty much "works in progress", kind of a cognitivism appraoch? Trial and error? Let the users experiment and learn from a new environment?
I guess we got to be patient and give feedback wherever it permits. And meanwhile, I will be a good boy and help my parents who are "in the progress" of jumping onto the digital bandwagon.
