Abstract

Blended learning (B-learning), a combination of face-to-face teaching and E-learning-supported-teaching in an online course, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools have been studied in recent years. In addition, the use of this teaching model is effective in teaching and learning conditions in which some certain subjects are appropriate for the specific teaching context. As it has been a matter of concern of the universities in Vietnam today, deep studies related to this topic is crucial to be conducted. In this article, the process of developing online courses and organizing teaching for the General Informatics subject for first-year students at the Hue University of Education with B-learning teaching model will be presented. The combination of 60% face-to-face and 40% online learning.

Highlights

Blended learning (B-learning), an instructional approach in which computer has a role as an instructional media (Bonk & Graham, 2006), has been implemented in higher education in many countries
It has been proven by many scientists that B-learning has improved student achievements (Husamah, 2015; Joseph, 2017; Manwaring, Larsen, Graham, Henrie, & Halverson, 2017)
One of the B-learning principles identified by Lai et al (2016) is consolidation in term of utilizing various types of learning activities including online discussions so that students do reconsider, reflect, and consolidate the knowledge they gained

Summary

Introduction

Blended learning (B-learning), an instructional approach in which computer has a role as an instructional media (Bonk & Graham, 2006), has been implemented in higher education in many countries. Online teaching (Elearning) in the form of synchronous or unsynchronous interaction between teacher and learners has been giving benefits in teaching and learning. It costs considerably lower than the traditional classroom (FAO, 2011), enables both teacher and students to conduct learning anywhere and anytime (Epignosis LLC, 2014)
