Learning

In blended learning, some aspects of the educational program are delivered through computers, and the students have some control over when and/or where they will engage with these aspects of the program. Blended learning is different from a straightforward online program, though, because it the computer-mediated aspects of instruction are delivered within the context of a broader structure of traditional face-to-face instruction.

In bottom-up language learning, the student learns individual words and other basic elements of language, and then moves up to more complex structures of language. On the other hand, in top-down learning, the student begins with trying to a get a broad sense of the language as a whole, and then filling in the blanks as they emerge. Bottom-up language learning is common in schools, even though it may not really mimic how a child tends to actually learn language. 

Learning means to gain knowledge or information about something via firsthand experience or consuming data through listening or reading.
