Learning The Klaspad Way

Distance Learning

Distance learning and our online courses allow you to study wherever you are, arranging your studies around your work or family life. You learn using study materials and online learning resources that are designed for active learning. You can also connect with other students around the world via your Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). Accessible study resources and expert tutor instruction mean you'll have the flexibility to study when and where you want. Whatever your circumstances, gain a recognised qualification.

Distance learning is going to be different to the study you've done before school, college, even university. But it'll be similar in many ways as well. With Klaspad distance learning, you'll have study materials, an online study portal, student forums, learning events and more

Learning The Klaspad Way

Blended Learning

Blended learning is a teaching style that allows the students to use the technology to access all the resources and teaching material online in combination with traditional hands-on and in-person lessons. You can be in direct touch with the teacher and also meet during the face-to-face sessions over virtual or classroom based live sessions. We have the ability to use various learning environments:

  • Face-to-face teaching
  • Discussion groups
  • Lectures
  • Group break-outs in and around the classroom
  • Supervised online learning
  • In classroom computer lessons
  • Remote learning

Ultimately, technology works best when it supports the true essence of education and aids teachers in helping students assimilate skills.
