168 For taking blended learning courses at College students need to attend the weekly class session in per- son. 1. Arriving on time, being prepared, and staying for the entire class session is imperative for the suc- cessful completion of the course. 2. Students need to log into their Blackboard course on a regular basis to contribute to discussions and other online activities, not just at regularly scheduled class times. 3. Students need to own or have access to a computer on a regular basis. 4. Students must have access to the Internet with sufficient bandwidth to handle large files and videos. 5. Students’ computers must have standard software packages such as Microsoft Office, an appropriate browser, access to the web, and appropriate levels of virus protection software. Tips for success in blended learning • Get organized: Make time for learning and participating with your professor and your classmates. Keep track of deadlines, and give yourself plenty of time to complete assignments. Check online discus- sions on a regular basis and give yourself extra time to handle any technology related problems. • Prioritize your work: Organize your learning and your assignments and determine the order in which you need to tackle them. Utilize a calendar to map out your study plan. • Log in regularly: Check your school email and Blackboard daily. There may be new class announce- ments, responses to questions, new learning units, assignments, and new discussion postings by the pro- fessor and your classmates. Active participation in learning activities is critical for your learning success. • Do not fall behind: It is dangerous (and may waste your money) to wait until the last minute to com- plete your assignments, to skip one learning unit, or to miss an on-site class. You will find yourself strug- gling to catch up and becoming de-motivated and pressured as a result. • Participate, participate, and participate: A lot of learning is realized through the classroom and online interactions. Participation reveals new ideas and thoughts and develops your critical thinking skills. • Be comfortable with technology: Ensure that you have access to the Internet and Blackboard and that you are comfortable with using the required software technologies [5,8]. The skills you build and use in blended learning – organization, time management, and problem solving – are life skills that will benefit you in your study at College, in your work, and in your personal life [6,33]. With more of the core learning occurring outside the classroom, there are opportunities for formal and informal approaches to class meetings. Formal activities might include workshops, coaching, mentoring, lecturing, debate, or active learning tasks such as group work, problem-solving, simulations, case studies, or role-playing. Informal activities might include creating small group conferences, ad-hoc work teams to work on self-directed investigations of problems, or as an opportunity to engage in self-directed active learning tasks. The results of the study provided valuable and detailed information about how different teachers and students experienced teaching and learning in a blended learning environment. Technical and pedagogical support staff can learn what support to provide and how to provide it; teachers can learn what to expect and how to make the process of adopting blended learning as effective and easy as possible; and finally, teachers can learn how to prepare their students to benefit the most from learning in a blended learning environment. жүктеу/скачать 5.79 Mb.
