Abstract

Blended learning is an information-based teaching method. This method is applied in network marketing course and verifying its teaching effect is a problem worthy of research. By combining blended learning-related theories, student features, and course requirements, a WeChat-based blended learning pattern applicable to network marketing course was proposed in this study. A teaching design of WeChat-based blended learning was created, followed by a teaching experiment. Quantitative analysis was used to verify the teaching results of the experimental and control classes. Results demonstrate that the learning effect of experimental class adopting WeChat-based blended learning is superior to that of the control class adopting traditional teaching method. WeChat-based blended learning lengthens extracurricular learning time, enhances students’ learning interest, and increases the opportunity of student–teacher exchange. This study provides references for developing WeChat-based hybrid learning.

Introduction

The Internet has become part of people’s life, and the Internet economy is the new driving force for socio-economic growth. Rapid e-commerce development in China provides a large quantity of vivid examples and advanced technical support, and this situation helps professional teachers carry out network teaching. Blended learning is introduced into network marketing course teaching. According to the theories of blended learning, the WeChat platform is used to optimize a series of teaching links, such as design, process, and evaluation of network marketing course. WeChat is utilized to study teaching and learning patterns whereby network marketing course teaching is deeply integrated into the Internet. This study applies concepts and methods of blended learning to network marketing course, explores the course’s teaching pattern of WeChat-based blended learning, verifies and analyzes practical effects of WeChat-based blended learning in network marketing course, and summarizes ways to use WeChat-based blended learning to improve the teaching effect of the course
