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…

This project undertook an analysis of the evolving nature of online, hybrid, and multi-access learning within the British Columbia (BC) post-secondary education system. The project objectives included assessing potential changes in the scope and nature of online learning in BC, understanding stakeholder insights on learner preferences towards…

As a teacher in the San Antonio Independent School District, Addison Davis encountered a significant challenge--maintaining student engagement during the last periods of the school day. These periods often felt like a battle between his students' growing restlessness and his efforts to keep them focused on the content. Initially, he relied heavily…

Blended learning, which combines face-to-face lectures with online learning, has emerged as a suitable teaching approach during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used a national survey of anatomy educators in Mainland China to evaluate the changes in the implementation of blended learning in anatomical pedagogy. A total of 297 responses were…

This exploratory research paper addresses undergraduate business student course instruction method preferences both pre and post COVID-19. A survey was given to a convenience sample of undergraduate business students across four areas of business: Accounting, Financial Services, Marketing/Management, and Health Care at a small university in the…

The COVID-19 pandemic moved focus from face-to-face learning to hybrid in Higher Education; many educators did not have previous experience of this mode prior to this shift in learning locations. One form of hybrid learning is "synchronous hybrid learning" where both face-to-face and online students simultaneously attend learning…

Blended Learning (BL) as a pedagogical approach has increased in significance during the COVID-19 pandemic, with blended and online learning environments becoming the new digital norm for higher educational institutions around the globe. While BL has been discussed in the literature for thirty years, a common approach has been to categorise…

In this study, it is aimed to reveal the opinions of the academics who have experienced the blended method in the course of blended courses. The study was carried out using a parallel mixed design. Research data were collected from academics who were determined by convenient sampling method. The research was conducted with 52 academics who stated…

Peer learning is not fully developed or researched in online and hybrid higher education. This research analyses a peer learning experience in the asynchronous part of hybrid teaching, in one of the largest blended universities in Europe, promoting students to act as teachers of their peers, by preparing digital content (videos) for the course.…

A broad range of approaches to learning such as traditional lectures, laboratory learning, online learning, and active learning are used in higher education settings. Specifically, in the field of science and technology, laboratory learning is crucial and a form of active learning. The objective of this study was to examine the use of these four…

While process simulation tools offer immense potential in chemical engineering, effectively integrating them into the educational curriculum poses challenges. This work explored and practiced online-offline blended teaching in process simulation courses. The design of this blended course was based on a comparison of students' performances in fully…

The Text-Based Video (TBV) model is a particular case of the more general Video-Based Learning (VBL) model in which an instructor's curriculum is fully covered by high-quality videos and texts. The aim of this study is to test the effectiveness of the TBV model by examining and comparing its two main components: Videos and texts. The model is…

As the higher education landscape undergoes rapid transformation, educators continue to seek best practices for creating quality digital, blended, and online learning experiences. However, disparate definitions of quality and differing instructor and student preferences complicate this work. This report addresses the pressing need to bridge the…

The emergence of open online courses and flipped classrooms has brought new opportunities to unbundle the traditional university. This study aimed to investigate a thermal physics classroom integrated with an open online learning mode to afford various learning strategies for students in Taiwan. Moreover, we examined students' preferred learning…

The purpose of this literature review was to synthesize relevant research concerning the blended learning and flipped lesson models, and their potential role in performance-based music classrooms. I provide theoretical backgrounds of these models and introduce Puentedura's Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition model as a possible…
