In recent years, higher-education has started to introduce blended-learning schemes in the language learning curricula. The evaluation of this kind of scheme has two important aspects: the design of the resources and the delivery of the courses. The use of specialised tools makes both of these aspects easier. This study focuses on the evaluation of an e-language learning scheme undertaken at th...

Web-based or “online” learning commonly known as e-Learning which makes use of internet technologies has been widely used by many education institutions around the globe. Higher education institutions have been using Learning Management system (LMS) as a part of their campus-based and distance teaching. To date, very little research has been carried out to investigate whether the uses of LMS ac...

Along with the common goal of reducing fuel consumption for vehicles, the hybrid electric vehicle stands out as a mean for more fuel efficient driving. Besides the conventional combustion engine and fuel tank, the hybrid electric vehicle is also equipped with an electric motor and a battery for propulsion. Car manufacturers are presently working to provide the markets with the next step of this...

This research has two aims: (1) to bridge a gap in blended learning research — the lack of a systems approach to the understanding of blended learning research and practice, and (2) to promote a more comprehensive understanding of what has been achieved and what needs to be achieved in blended learning research and practice. To achieve these aims, we first assess the strengths and limitations i...

This study analyzed the effects of two heterogeneous cooperative groupings’ blended learning on programming design learning achievements and attitudes. To achieve the above objective, this study used a quasi-experimental design to conduct the experiment. Additionally, the research instruments used in this study included: Thinking Styles Inventory, cognitive style scale, programming design learn...

This research paper explores the effectiveness of using mobile technologies to support a blended learning course titled Scientific Research Methods in Information Science. Specifically, it discusses the effects of WhatsApp mobile learning activities guided by activity theory on students' knowledge Management (KM). During the 2014 academic year, the researcher adopted an experimental approach-ba...

This presentation discusses online learning provision using blended approach in educational settings. Online learning provision in the African setting includes both the traditional e-Learning management systems (e. g. proprietary – blackboard and webCT), and Open Source (i. e. Moodle, KEWL etc.). Online learning can feature at primary, junior and senior secondary as well as tertiary levels. How...

Web-based courses have shown to be successful in providing quality distance education. However, due to a national education policy, pure online courses are not permitted in Taiwan. In addition, there exists a lack of appropriate design and delivery of blended learning courses. In this study, the authors conducted a quasi-experiment to examine the effects in applying blended learning (BL) with w...

Petroleum products are highly complex chemical mixtures consisting predominantly of hydrocarbons. Their composition varies with source and intended use of the product. Virtually all are blended products that come into contact with man in a wide range of circumstances. Their toxicity for man is generally low and the use of additives rarely affects the toxicity of the final product. Because produ...

Ultimately with the raise of computer technology, blended learning has found its way into teaching. The technology continues to evolve, challenging teachers and lecturers alike. Most studies on blended learning focus on the practical or applied side and use essentially pedagogical concepts. This study demonstrates that the leadership sciences can enrich pedagogy in building a framework for teac...
