Blended Learning school to hold orientation
The Center for Blended Learning (CBL) will be holding an orientation and open house on Feb. 15, 10 a.m. to 12 noon, at 56 Lantana and New York Streets, Cubao, Quezon City (beside Immaculate Conception Cathedral).
While the US and Europe traditionally define “blended learning” as a combination of face-to-face and online teaching, CBL has developed a Filipino approach that involves not only the online world and classroom setting, but parents, mentors and their communities as well.
CBL is accredited by the Department of Education’s Alternative Learning System Program.
