The Research of Blended Learning for Computer and LAN Course

Abstract

The traditional classroom teaching has been unable to meet the educational needs of students, with the development of information and network technology, blended learning increasingly reflects its superiority. This paper discusses the process of the blended learning based on network teaching platform and the matters needing attention. It lays a theoretical foundation for the implementation of blended learning. With the development and progress of information and network technology, people can get information through a variety of ways, classroom teaching is not only a single “teaching and learning” process, but also an equal dialogue and interaction between teachers and students. The traditional classroom teaching has been unable to meet people’s needs and attract all the attention of students, resulting in some students` learning effect is poor.[1] Blended learning mode is a combination of traditional classroom teaching and network teaching. Blended learning is to combine advantage of classroom teaching and network teaching, integrated classroom teaching, network teaching and Practice Teaching. Blended learning is not simply hybrid of the classroom teaching and network teaching, but to integrate different learning theory, learning environment, learning resources, learning style and so on. In this paper, we carry out a blended learning research taking “computer and LAN” as an example which is a professional basic course for electronic and electrical professional. As a maritime occupation college, our college specializes in training operating level crew. Electrical and electronic professional students after graduation will engage in electrical and electronic technician in the ship. Because of the special working environment of ship, when the equipment belonging to the electrical technician suffers failure, he must handle it alone, which requires students to master professional knowledge. Electrical equipment on the ship, the computer and network are responsible for electronic and electrical technician. All the students need to participate in occupation qualification examination of Maritime Bureau. The students must pass the exam in order to participate in the work. It requires students to understand and remember the theoretical knowledge. The course mainly includes computer hardware, operating system and network knowledge. In the traditional classroom teaching, students’ learning enthusiasm is not high and the teaching effect is not ideal. In this case the teaching reform must be considered. This paper analyzes and designs of blended learning process from the aspects of pre analysis, teaching design, teaching organization and teaching evaluation. Blended learning process is shown in Fig. 1.
