Blended Learning @ NV
Introduction to Blended Learning
Blended Learning aims to provide students a seamless blend of different modes of learning.
Key intended outcomes:

Develop passionate and intrinsically motivated learners
A main aspect of Blended Learning is the integration of Home-based Learning as a regular feature of the schooling experience.
