Blended Model of Higher
Education
UKS has a successful track record
in deploying educational systems that bring the best of the latest trends to
position its higher education customers at the forefront of learning technology
adoption. This experience has been the basis for developing the UKS Blended Model
of Higher Education, a set of guidelines, best practices, technologies and methodologies
that combine the principal aspects of online education with technology-assisted
face-to-face group learning.
“Learning as an Expedition” is the central
theme of the UKS Blended Model of Higher Education; students actively perform
the learning tasks and the instructor acts as a guide. The most revolutionary
concept of the UKS Blended Model of Higher Education is the transformation of
traditional lectures from students being a passive audience to becoming the drivers
of the learning process. The Model looks at the learning process as made up of
two components: 1) learning of fundamental concepts, and 2) assimilation of the
fundamental concepts in real life interactive environments or in situations that
closely mirror real life.
