Script

Educational formats are layouts of one's education. These layouts include organization of roles, functions, technology, and other arrangements for the educational process.

Traditional classroom refers to a classroom in which a teacher narrates educational topics while using some board or display for demonstrating.

On the contrary, in flipped classrooms, the students are supposed to review pre-recorded lectures or use other learning resources outside of the classroom. The teacher usually facilitates learning activities such as practical instruction, cognitive research, and/or experiential learning in the classroom.

On-the-job training is provided at the workplace. This training can be anything from time to think on work problems and/or use related learning resources and up to one-on-one mentoring.

One-on-one mentoring encompasses a relationship between one mentor and one student, who is called protégé.

A study group is a group of students that gathers to learn specified topics. Study circles use a similar format, but their topics are more vague.

Residency-based study refers to one's study of a particular subject and/or skills and abilities related to that subject in real-world environments under the direct or indirect supervision of a more competent other.

Finally, one's study of a particular subject and/or skills and abilities related to that subject under the guidance of a more competent other is known as guided independent study.

CNM Cyber is designed to complement and enhance onsite formats such as those traditional and flipped classrooms, as well as to accommodate any online formats.

Learning Resources is the successor lectio.
