“Solve the Big Problems”

Abstract

Blended learning remains at the top of higher education/technology issues lists despite having been in practice on college and university campuses for 20 years. However, a review of blended learning research literature suggests that innovation in blended learning models has been lacking. This chapter positions innovation in blended learning as a leadership challenge, not merely for the niche concerns of learning technology professionals but as a strategy to fulfill the higher education mission of student success. The chapter authors assert that, while blended learning's very flexibility often curtails its systemic implementation, when undertaken as an institutional leadership challenge, new configurations of blended learning implemented through cross-institutional partnerships hold great promise.

Multi-source and multimodal data fusion for predicting academic performance in blended learning university courses

“…Moodle.Forum Following that, we applied an ensemble or combination of multiple classification base models by again using the Vote automatic combining machine learning algorithm. To find the best weights (for each individual classification model) we tested it by giving the same weight (1) or double that (2) to each individual model. The best result with our data was obtained when combining a weight of 1 for Theory and Practical with a weight of 2 for Moodle by using the average as combination rule for weights.…”

“…Blended learning (b-learning) is a method of teaching approach that combines online learning with traditional in face-to-face classroom methods. In research literature [1] the terms blended learning, hybrid learning and mixed-mode instruction are often used to refer b-learning. Its main goal is to overcome the drawbacks of pure online learning and it remains a priority issue in technology enhaced education despite having been put into practice on all over the word for 20 years ago.…”

Blended Learning Implementation and Impact in Vocational Schools

“…The studies were, among other things, in terms of the instructors, lecturers, or staff's readiness background in carrying out blended learning in 6 articles (26%), from the students' background, there were 5 articles (22%), from the technology availability or infrastructure, there were 3 articles (13%), and most focus on systematic indicators, namely the blended learning's design and management, as many as 9 articles (39%) in which there were learning designs and strategies.

“…In blended learning, media is needed to convey material to students, including Moodle (Charitopoulos et al, 2017;Jachin & Usagawa, 2017;Kulkarni et al, 2019). The blended learning development is increasingly in demand as a learning system that adapts to technological progress; thus, new innovations are also needed not to be monotonous, one of which is cross-institutional partnerships (Thompson et al, 2019).…”

Research on the Blended Course Teaching Design of C Programming

“…With the continuous transformation and development of the current relevant industrial structure in China, under the background of application-oriented undergraduate majors, all walks of life need not only talents with solid professional and practical skills, but also innovative talents with integrated disciplines. Under the new situation, the construction of application-oriented undergraduate major also has new requirements for C language teaching [3]. The construction of application-oriented undergraduate majors focuses more on practice and production cooperation to promote interdisciplinary integration.…”
