This document discusses learning environments and effective components of learning environments. It defines learning environment as anywhere learning takes place, not just the traditional classroom. The key components of an effective learning environment are learners' characteristics, learning goals, supportive activities, assessment strategies, and a supportive culture. Culture plays an important role in shaping the learning environment. The document also discusses how technology can increase flexibility in instructional delivery and enable blended learning, which combines online and in-person learning. Different models of blended learning are rotation, flex, a la carte, and enriched virtual models.

TECHNOLOGY FOR BEED 2nd Year A
TEACHING AND Instructor: Ms. Celeste A. De Vera,
LEARNING 1 LPT LEARNING ENVIRONMENT Learning environment refers to the diverse physical locations, contexts, and cultures in which students learn. Since students may learn in a wide variety of settings, such as outside-of-school locations and outdoor environments, the term is often used as a more accurate or preferred alternative to classroom, which has more limited and traditional connotations—a room with rows of desks and a chalkboard, for example. The term also encompasses the culture of a school or class—its presiding ethos and characteristics, including how individuals interact with and treat one another—as well as the ways in which teachers may organize an educational setting to facilitate learning—e.g., by conducting classes in relevant natural ecosystems, grouping desks in specific ways, decorating the walls with learning materials, or utilizing audio, visual, and digital technologies. And because the qualities and characteristics of a learning environment are determined by a wide variety of factors, school policies, governance structures, and other features may also be considered elements of a “learning environment.” COMPONENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Learners' characteristics; Learning and teaching goals; Activities that support learning; Assessment strategies that drive and measure learning; A culture that directly infuses a learning environment. CULTURE AND LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
Culture is a critical component of any learning environment. It is important
to be aware of the influence of culture within any particular learning context, and to try and shape that culture as much as possible towards supporting the kind of learning environment that you believe will be most effective. However, changing a pre-existing, dominant culture is very difficult. Nevertheless, new technologies enable new learning environments to be developed, and thus provide an opportunity to develop the kind of culture within that learning environment that will best serve your learners. However, in every learning environment there will be cultural elements that prevail through all components, which is why I have added culture as a background to all the components of a learning environment in the graphic below. FLEXIBLE LEARNING Fundamental Concepts on Instructional Delivery Before delving into flexible learning as a feature of instructional delivery, let us first understand the fundamental concepts of how we deliver instruction in the context of space and time. In its elementary sense, instructional delivery is the mode on how teaching and learning take place. Generally, there are three major ways on how we can deliver instruction nowadays. These three ways have become so tactile that subforms have been devised and accepted. We try to study the figure below to see the three overarching types of instructional delivery systems. INCREASING FLEXIBILITY USING TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION
Educational technology has been considered as another common ground
of all categories of instructional delivery. Therefore, it means that technology is not only applicable to online distance learning. What matters most in the use of technology is that learners can have access to all required technology to be used in instruction. For instance, before choosing the use mobile- aidedd technology in a distance or remote learning mode, the teacher should ensure that learners possess such a technological device, should be knowledgeable in manipulating the environment of that technology. You see, aiding instructional delivery with technology is still putting the learners at the core. This ensures increasing flexibility in using technology in education. BLENDED LEARNING
Technology has undoubtedly revolutionized the way instruction is delivered.
Learning space and time have been redefined because of technology. One offshoot of how technology is linked to instructional delivery is blended learning (BL). Kintu, Zhu, Kagambe (2017) positioned blended learning under web-based instruction. The majority of education scholars are in unison that BL is the merging of face-to-face instruction and computer-mediated learning environments. Part of the continuum in defining BL is the thought that it is a set of combining strategies and approaches in delivering instruction through the aid of any web-based instructional resource. This means that BL may be a combination of two or more sub-modes of instructional delivery; however, technology as a potent aid is never deleted in the scene. It should be clear that the plain use of technology in providing information to your learners through the aid of technological tools does not necessarily spell out blended learning. Garison and Vaughan (2008) echoed some features of blended learning instructional delivery. 1.It considers the power of online and offline modes of learning. 2.It ensures teacher support and engagement. 3.It promotes independent learning. 4.It supports peer interaction ROTATION MODEL
