The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the rapid adoption of remote teaching modalities including "hyflex" where students attend some class sessions in person and some online. Managing the hyflex course requires faculty to quickly generate several reports and to update these reports rapidly when the authorities adjust the rules, students…

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…

Objective: This study aimed to develop and test a scale for measuring the quality of blended learning models in higher education. Methods: This research adopts a sequential mixed-method approach to construct a new measurement scale. The first phase consisted of the inductive approach to identify the items, followed by exploratory factor analysis.…

Successful implementation of blended learning initiatives requires careful planning and consideration of multidimensional factors. Focusing on evaluation and accountability for the design of professional development initiatives (PDIs) is the next step towards creating efficient and effective PDIs. This is especially needed since the COVID-19…

The objectives of this research are (1) to study and synthesise the conceptual framework of the virtual learning environment model on cloud using hybrid learning, (2) to develop the virtual learning environment model on cloud using hybrid learning, and (3) to study the results after using the virtual learning environment model on cloud using…

"Presence in the Online World: A Contemplative Perspective and Practice Guide for Educators" is an edited collection that addresses the question of how we can bring the insights of contemplative pedagogy into the space of online learning. While the digital space can be one of distraction and disconnection, contemplative pedagogy offers…

In this study, 210 articles were reviewed from two databases--Web of Science and Scopus--using the systematic literature review method, following the PRISMA (preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses) selection and analysis process. Through systematic literature review and statistical analysis of empirical research…

In contemporary education, Hybrid Education, Learning, and Assessment (HELA) practices have experienced a surge in adoption, transcending the boundaries of technology-driven paradigms. This transformative wave is reshaping the educational landscape, redefining the very essence of pedagogical strategies. These practices are embedded in the way we…

We report on the design and development of an introductory analytics course delivered to almost 10,000 undergraduate business students to date. One novel aspect of the course is its orientation to add analytics capabilities to a business student's toolbox, resulting in significant design and implementation implications. We anchored the course on…

In the current educational landscape, the development of critical thinking abilities is becoming increasingly important, especially considering the prevalence of hybrid learning methods.

The promotion of blended learning has not only enhanced instructional quality but also increased the workload, pressure, and professional challenges faced by university teachers. This study aims to identify patterns of work-related behavior and experience pertaining to successful blended instruction. From the perspective of conservation of…

Online and blended learning (OBL) overemphasize the process of creating artifacts, producing strategies, or otherwise utilizing a "making" orientation in education. As an alternative to this making-orientation, we offer a model for relational course design founded in the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Martin Buber. We examine an…

This study provides empirical evidence of how self-monitoring tasks contribute to improving the Korean pronunciation of foreign learners of Korean in blended courses, which combine face-to-face classes with online assignments. The study focuses on lateralization and nasalization rules, which are obligatory assimilation rules that frequently occur…

This bibliometric analysis examines the evolving landscape of blended learning research (2018-2023) through a mixed method. Leveraging a dataset of 1673 documents from 'Web of Science' and employing WPS and VOSviewer, the study addresses a few key research questions. It explores annual publication and citation trends, author and country…

In the flipped classroom, students engage in preparatory activities to study the course materials prior to attending teacher-guided sessions. Students' success in the flipped classroom is directly related to their preparation and students tend to change their preparation activity over time. Few studies have investigated why students change their…
