Background It is vital to understand students' Self-Regulatory Learning (SRL) processes, especially in Blended (BL), when students need be more autonomous their learning process. In studying SRL, most researchers have followed a variable-oriented approach. Moreover, little has been known about the unfolding process of SRL profiles. Objectives We present insights derived from study that measured...

Blended or hybrid course design is generally considered to involve a combination of online and classroom activities. However defining blended courses solely based on delivery mode suggests there is nothing more to a blended course than where students meet and how they use technology. Ultimately there is a risk that blended courses defined in this way will not utilize effective strategies that h...

Due to the increased popularity of e-learning, the phrase “blended learning” has recaptured people’s attention. The manner in which blended-learning classes can be designed to improve learning effectiveness has become an important issue. This study combines classroom learning (abbreviated as C) with computer-assisted programmed instruction (abbreviated as E) to implement C + E. Based on the pri...

Blended learning is becoming an attractive model in higher education as new innovative information technologies are becoming increasingly available. However, just blending face-to-face learning with information technologies cannot provide effective teaching and efficient solutions for learning. To be successful, blended learning must rely on solid learning theory and pedagogical strategies. In ...

As stated by Driscoll (2002), ‘blended learning means different things to different people, which illustrates its widely untapped potential’. However, the concept of blended learning as defined as the integrated combination of pedagogical approaches to produce an optimal learning outcome, coordinated with instructional technology focusing on skill-driven and intended learning, is not foreign to...

Learning processes using New Media tend to be extremely complex. It is not too surprising then that current research appears rather scattered and dominated by the more tangible issues such as content and learning platform design in a bottom-up approach. While initially this appears practical, we are convinced that advanced learning platforms need to be designed to optimally support the underlyi...

Higher education institutions the world over is turning to Blended Learning (BL) as preferred teaching and learning delivery approach. However, attain campus-wide adoption requires an understanding of influencing factors that motivate academics towards in BL mode. Given this context, paper presents findings from a qualitative study investigates lived experiences they adopt for Ghanaian universi...

Blended learning is a combination of any form of technology enhanced learning with face-to-face instructor-led training. So called guidebooks describe how self-paced learning activities can be blended with collaborative activities. This paper describes the requirements for such a guidebook based on results from a Delphi study. A draft of a possible structure for such a guidebook is suggested.

Nebulous combinations of face-to-face and online learning are increasingly common across Australian higher education contexts. This paper reports on part of a redesign project of an undergraduate education subject at a regional university. The aim of the redesign was to enhance e-learning and blended learning environments. An approach that maps the evaluation research activities to the design a...
