Biochemical processes While it is di ffi cult to relate specific biochemical processes directly to the concept of blended learning, there are general biochemical processes in the brain that play a role in learning and memory formation. These processes are also relevant when considering blended learning. Some of the most important processes are: Long-term potentiation (LTP): LTP is a process in which synaptic transmission between neurons is strengthened by repeated activation. LTP is a fundamental mechanism for learning and memory formation. By combining traditional and digital learning methods in blended learning, learners can access di ff erent types of information and learning activities, which promotes LTP and facilitates learning. Neurotransmitter: Various neurotransmitters are involved in learning, such as dopamine, serotonin and acetylcholine. These neurotransmitters are involved in signal transmission between neurons and influence mood, motivation, and attention. In the context of blended learning, providing varied and engaging learning activities can help to promote the release of these neurotransmitters and thus improve the learning process. Neuroplasticity: Neuroplasticity refers to the brain's ability to change over time and adapt to new information and experiences. Learning promotes neuroplasticity by forming new synapses and strengthening existing neural connections. In the context of blended learning, combining di ff erent learning methods and environments can help promote neuroplasticity and make learning more e ff ective. While these biochemical processes are not specific to blended learning, they are fundamental mechanisms involved in learning and memory formation. By understanding these processes, we can better understand how blended learning can help improve learning and create an e ff ective learning experience.
