Blended Learning.
Blended learning involves online and face-to-face instruction. Both are used alongside each other in order to provide a comprehensive learning experience. For example, a trainer might give learners a list of online resources they can use to broaden their understanding of the topic, or ask them to complete an online group project that centres on a subject they are currently discussing. In the case of blended learning, online materials do not take the place of face-to-face instruction; instead, the two modalities complement one another. They truly “blend” in order to create an enriched online training environment for the learner.
Flipped Learning.
Flipped Classroom learning is when you reverse the delivery method in traditional learning. Traditional delivery of learning is reading, watching, and absorbing learning material in class, and being tasked with work to complete at home. In a flipped learning classroom, teachers, administrators and instructors prepare audio or video lectures for learners to watch at home, on their own time. The time in class is spent on working through the concepts being delivered, with the guidance of an instructor. Complementary to all of this is an online platform where learners and instructors can discuss with one another.
Or:
Flipped learning, which is also known as a flipped classroom, is a bit more clear-cut. There is a divide between the technology and face-to-face elements of the learning experience. A learner is asked to watch an eLearning video or participate in another online learning exercise BEFORE coming to class. In the classroom the new materials are explored at-length. In most cases, the knowledge that is learned online is applied in the classroom.
