Blended learning

Student experiences

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate student experiences with Blended Learning (BL) with the focus on development and delivery across Schools at EIT. At the end of the teaching period students were asked to complete a survey containing 28 closed questions and three open ended questions. Students were mostly satisfied with the process of being exposed to BL, and made useful suggestions to the institution and its tutors on how to improve their learning experiences. It is generally accepted that BL allows for meaningful learning, but it is important to keep in mind that tutors should set learning activities that comply with the level of learning that is required by the student. This was identified by students as an area that tutors mostly got right. Some tutors did however need to improve their skills in using technology effectively.
