The global impact of COVID in 2020 is forcing higher education institutions in many countries to adopt a hybrid model of education. The shift to blended education has been trending globally. However, the change in pedagogy has reduced the quality of students' learning experience and prevented them from deep learning. Therefore, the current study…

Blended learning, as an efficient teaching mode that combines the advantages of both online and offline learning, has been widely applied in universities. Nevertheless, the different learning patterns induce difficulty in evaluating the learning quality. In this paper, an approach of integrating online and offline interactions is proposed by…

This article reports on an exploratory case study that applied the Community of Inquiry framework in the K-12 Philippine setting, where there are limited studies on blended learning interactions and experiences. The study examined blended learning interactions across three schools in the Philippine K-12 system to investigate the following: (1)…

Drawing on Kolb's experiential learning theory, this article offers practical and ready-to-use ideas that can be implemented into trainings to transform them into interactive experiences for students. By blending practical exercises with the power of theory, trainers can harness their creative ideas to craft dynamic training sessions that not only…

In Blended Learning, students receive a combination of traditional face to face instruction in class and are also required to complete activities outside of the classroom. BL increases opportunities for faculty members to design more effective teaching and learning environments. In order to do so, Instructional Design might be used to support…

Prioritizing student satisfaction in higher education is crucial for delivering an educational experience that caters to students' needs, ultimately leading to improved learning outcomes and fostering gradual progress. In this paper, to identify the interactive teaching approach that best aligns with student expectations for a class of freshmen…

The flipped classroom is an emergent digital pedagogy credited with virtuous and student-centric characteristics of increased learning. The purpose of this study was to discuss the implementation of the Flipped Classroom Blended Learning Model among lecturers in African Universities. The study employed a qualitative literature review, after…

Blended collaborative learning has emerged as an effective pedagogical model that integrates face-to-face and online learning environments, offering a dynamic platform for deep learning--characterized by critical thinking, knowledge synthesis, and application. However, existing research offers mixed findings on how blended collaborative learning…

Ensuring employees are competent and confident to perform their duties relies on new employee orientation and ongoing compliance training. Currently, there is no industry standard or evidence-informed decision framework that determines when to use face-to-face, online, or blended learning for healthcare workplace training. This mixed methods…

While post-secondary institutions increasingly make online and hybrid offerings available to learners, special care must be taken to foster human and social connection. In this conceptual paper we compare four key constructs of human connection: (a) relatedness (Ryan & Deci, 2000), (b) sense of belonging (Goodenow, 1993), (c) social presence…

Hybrid teaching has become a common approach, with its inclusive character being a main advantage. However, it also comes with problems such as increased attention requirements for teachers and a lacking social integration of both groups of students (remote, on-site). The present research aims to enhance the potential of hybrid teaching through…

Small group interactions and interactions with near-peer instructors such as learning assistants serve as fertile opportunities for student learning in undergraduate active learning classrooms. To understand what students take away from these interactions, we need to understand how and what they learn during the moment of their interaction. This…

In the post-pandemic period, an increasing number of students have been using online learning environments, as students find them more convenient and feel less academic pressure. However, some students are comparatively disadvantaged due to their lack of access to a fast network or a powerful computer to attend online classes. Consequently,…

Purpose: This paper asserts that while educational resources are times effective in teaching students how to write, the format in which they are delivered can influence results. With this in mind, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of using educational resources in a blended format. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a…

The study aims to study the processes of the interactive augmented reality technology via blended instruction lesson on cloud, to design the interactive augmented reality technology via blended instruction lesson on cloud, to develop the interactive augmented reality technology via blended instruction lesson on cloud and to study the results of…
