Flexibility: Blended intensive programs usually offer a mix of online and in-person learning, providing students with flexibility in terms of when and where they study.
Interactive Learning: Blended programs often incorporate a combination of virtual lectures, online discussions, and in-person workshops or practical sessions. Students value the opportunity to engage in interactive learning activities, which can enhance their understanding of the subject matter and promote active participation.
Enhanced Collaboration: The blended format encourages collaboration among students through online discussion boards, group projects, and in-person interactions. Students often find value in working together, exchanging ideas, and learning from their peers’ diverse perspectives.
