Common use of Virtual and Blended Programs Clause in Contracts

Virtual and Blended Programs. Digital and self-directed learning is a growing component of education in the 21st Century. University classrooms use digital and distance learning technologies as a core part of instruction. Corporate training uses online learning management platforms, often in a self-directed environment. WPCS’s goal is not only to educate students on what they need to know, but to teach them how to learn, giving them the skills and tools to teach themselves new topics. This new generation of digital learners use technology every day, and WPCS will integrate a digital learning management system into its program. WPCS knows that sound training to become a responsible digital citizen is a core 21st Century skill. Students will learn to use digital tools to access curriculum and demonstrate proficiency. Teachers will still teach, but they will become facilitators to learning, and not the sole fount of all knowledge in the classroom. In this way, teachers will spend more time as mentors, guiding project-based learning and working with students to demonstrate what they’ve learned.
