Lab courses are an integral part of higher education in engineering sciences. In this paper, we report about a blended learning approach for such courses in computer science education. We show how the project method for co-located learning can be translated into a blended CSCL setting for a lab course on distributed software development, and how the resulting learning scenario can be supported ...

This paper discusses how educators and learners can be benefited from blended learning. The research employed a qualitative research method. An unstructured observational approach was used to assess how the current teaching activities can be improved efficiently and effectively with blended learning. Four dimensions of language learning in relation to vocabulary, listening, grammar and oral ski...

Blended online learning is an emerging variation of blended learning. Whereas blended learning enhances face-to-face classroom instruction by adding asynchronous online instruction via a learning management system, blended online learning adds synchronous online learning via web conferencing to enhance otherwise asynchronous online courses. Blended online learning can potentially attract season...

Expanding a tool for predicting chloride diffusivity in concrete so it can be used by manufacturers to evaluate the durability of concrete made with blended cements. Part I: Characterizing blended cement materials.

Blended learning implementation has been extensively examined in literature. Most research questions center around how blended learning results in greater learning achievement, which HAS been measured from a student’s perspective. Whilst being recognized as existing in varied models, how blended learning design may be different in hard and soft disciplines is scarcely researched. In addition, t...
