Hybrid Learning Guide: Appendix

Glossary of Key Terms

Asynchronous Learning - a general term that is used to describe educational models where instruction or learning happens at different times and often at different locations.
Blended Learning - an educational program or method in which content consumption happens at least in part through digital technologies as well as in part through in-person learning.
End User - the person that uses the final product.
Hybrid Learning - a technology dependent and organizationally driven instructional approach that allows for flexible face-to-face (F2F) student and teacher learning sessions and both synchronous and asynchronous remote access to coursework and learning sessions.
Learning Management System (LMS) - a software application that is used for the purpose of administering, curating, tracking, reporting, and automating content delivery for educational courses.
Remote Learning - an educational model characterized by a physical separation of learner and educator. This model is typically dependent on digital technologies for learning management and communications. In a remote learning arrangement, instruction and interactions may be synchronous or asynchronous.
Synchronous Learning - a general term that is used to describe educational models where instruction or learning happens at the same time and often at the same location.

The above is not an exhaustive list of terms. For additional language and terminology, the Christensen Institute offers a list of definitions and examples of Blended Learning models, and the Great Schools Partnership has a comprehensive glossary of other education-related terminology. To see how the above terms are related to October Count for the 2020-21 school year, see the CDE Addendum.
