AllegroTrans Apr 18, 2018:
"Blended-learning" is a term I have never heard of; I personally would use "mixed learning"
Galax (asker) Apr 18, 2018:
Thank you so much for your comments.
Taña Dalglish Apr 11, 2018:
@ Marcelo So true. One of the many idiosyncrasies of the Jamaican dialect.
Charles Davis Apr 11, 2018:
That's a point, Marcelo "Night school" is standard in the US; I'd forgotten. "Evening classes" is, or at least used to be, the UK expression. My mother taught evening classes to make some extra money (teachers' salaries were not great in those days).
Marcelo González Apr 11, 2018:
I don´t see "night" as a good option either... ...even though "night school" was a term widely used when I was growing up in New Jersey. So, though I agree with the point Charles makes below, I do so not because of any time-related prescription, but rather out of considerations of what might sound natural. Interestingly enough, in Jamaica, I often heard people say "good night" as a greeting!
Charles Davis Apr 11, 2018:
It's the general point about noche versus night: broadly speaking, night means after (conventional weekday) bedtime, but noche means after dark. So noche starts before night.
Charles Davis Apr 11, 2018:
Hi Galax Taña has quoted some of what I've said on the "semipresencial" part in the past. On "nocturno", the word you want is "evening". Classes for this are held between about 5 and 10 pm, certainly no later than 10.30 or so. So "night" or "nocturnal" would not be appropriate here. These are evening classes.

even better, perhaps, with a comma: "evening, blended-learning high school diploma"

Since "evening high school" appears to be widely used (see search below), perhaps something like "blended, evening high school diploma" may be a slightly better option.

That said, I also like Taña's suggestion, but I share her concerns about its wording, and think something along these lines might be a little neater.

high school diploma under evening blended learning conditions

This is the idea. I am not thrilled with the wording, but it is the idea. Precisely why I did not initially post as the wording is bugging me!
Note from asker:
Muchas gracias por toda tu ayuda.

Thanks Neil.
agree Marcelo González : or along these similar lines, maybe replacing ´under´and ´conditions´ with "in" and "format": "...in an evening, blended learning format". Following your suggestion, I´ve also proposed "evening, blended-learning high school diploma". Cheers Taña :-)

"Blended learning"

Blended learning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blended learning is an education program (formal or non-formal) that combines online digital media with traditional classroom methods. It requires the physical presence of both teacher and student, with some element of student control over time, place, path, or pace.[1][2][3][4] While students still attend "brick-and-mortar" schools with a teacher present, face-to-face classroom practices are combined with computer-mediated activities regarding content and delivery.[5][6] Blended learning is also used in professional development and training settings.[7]

A lack of consensus on a definition of blended learning has led to difficulties in research on its effectiveness in the classroom.[8] Blended learning is also highly context-dependent and therefore a universal conception of it is hard to come by.[9]

"Blended learning" is sometimes used in the same breath as "personalized learning"[10] and differentiated instruction.[11]
