Hello Johnson, our graduate school of education now incorporates blended learning within all courses and I have conducted blended learning for undergraduate education courses as well. I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for but I would be happy to discuss further. In particular, if you're starting out, there are a variety of approaches for blended learning, such as having a regular course that meets every other week and an online class that meets synchronously or asynchronously in the off week. From my work and research in the field, I've found that it will depend on the goals of the course and the students you are working with. When we were with full time teachers who are also students, then it is important that we create more asynchronous time frames for submission and interactions to allow for flexibility in work schedules. Hope this helps!

Dear Johnson Neelamegam,

I read two interesting articles who research Blended learning, I hope it will help.

Please find attached two articles as a PDF file.

Hi!

I am doing my PhD on blended learning - trying to look at it both critically and constructively. I think it is mostly a phase in transition to a more integrated use of ICT in a world that is also changing. My most cited paper about time snd blended learning is linked below, as is a book chapter on blended learning as a research item in Europe. Look also on my thought experiment on blended learning.

Yes we regularly perform blended learning in a variety of different ways:

Online & Face to Face

Face to Face & Video transmit to other classrooms

Video conferencing & Online

Thank you all for the resources provided here. I am working on Moodle based modules for my Ph.D. in Education. The modules are related to ICT, Statistics, Lesson Planning, Research and Citation.

I do work on the path of educational technology for blended learning.

Hello, Johnson

I did my PhD in 2005 on the use of blended learning in the teaching of mathematics at university level. It was interesting, but what I found was something I've had a hunch about all along.

As with different approaches to learning, the use of ICTs and other technologies is yet another approach that can add value if it is used correctly, if it is applicable, and if your students (teachers in your case) come into contact with it often enough, i.e. it does not become something which they are confronted with once and then the expectation is that it should catapult their performance into everyone obtaining A aggregates. That, unfortunately, will not happen.

Attached is an article which I wrote in my early years about the topic.

Good luck with your project.

Hi Johnson,

Over the past 2 years I have done quite a bit of work on interactive classrooms. 

Basically, I use the free Google tools Forms, Docs, and Sites to let students interact in my classrooms. During lectures I use Google Forms to let students use their devices to answer questions, click through to find internet info, answer quick polling questions, watch a video, give peer feedback, etc. The major benefit is that I can track participation and answer quality, and set automatic grading (with Flubaroo, an Add-on.) 

Also, I use Google Docs as shared group work shared with them via email or Doctopus, another Add-on. This enables students to use their devices (mostly smart phones) to share a document and complete different tasks related to my lecture. Again using Doctopus I can attach a rubric (Goobric) so giving feedback is quick and easy too. 

I like to use Google sites as my LMS because I can link all the above materials and the site is much easier for students to access with their devices. A great feature is that I can walk around class and see, on my smart phone,  the real-time activity of my students as they work. Also, I can show exemplar work on the screen with or I can go to individual students and coach them on ways to improve. 

Another big advantage is that when you update a Google Doc in your own Google drive, that Doc (or Slide) is updated where ever you are using it. In Bb or Moodle, to update a slide you would need to delete the old file, make changes, and upload the new file. Several times in class, I have updated a slide using my own smart phone. 

Remember, all of the above tools can be used both in the classroom and out of the classroom, and all you need is a Gmail account. How much does a Gmail account cost? 

Hope this helps. 

All the best, Warren

Hello Johnson,

I teach almost all my classes in a blended format and have done so for many years. I did do some qualitative research on blended learning, and I reported my findings in a book titled, How to design and teach a hybrid course: Achieving student-centered learning through blended classroom, online and experiential activities.  The book, published in 2011, includes interview data from several very experienced hybrid teachers in the U.S. and Canada. You may find their techniques and perspectives on blended learning helpful in constructing the module. I also share some of my experiences with blended learning. Hope this helps--and have fun creating the module.

Best wishes, JC

Our team present the pape " E-assessment in technical University of Sofia according to TeSLA project" as a plenary paper in conference Educational technologies 2016 a two days ago. I have already sent the presentation to my profile in RG. The full text of presentation will be published in the Conference proceedings. I could promiss to send You link to this proceedings if You would like..

Not sure how much it'll help, but you could take a look at these meta-analyses (if nothing else, at list, for the primary research papers they summarized):

My Ph.D. student Julija Lapuh Bele studied some aspects of blended learning. Soe results can be found in our paper Blended learning - an opportunity to take the best of both worlds?

Article Blended Learning - An Opportunity to Take the Best of Both Worlds

We have found that the move to a blended learning format particularly useful for students who are full time teachers. The techniques adopted can be used across any course and are definitely worthwhile to learn. Hope this helps!

Here's a conference paper I did as the Blended Learning champion for my department that may be helpful for you.

Debra
