What is Blended-Courses (Hybrid Courses)

Educational Technology and the New World of Persistent Learning
Differ from traditional face-to-face lessons by mixing learning with synchronous and asynchronous activities to prepare face-to-face feedback. First, the students study topics. Secondly, they apply the knowledge by solving problems during tutored activities: learning by doing and by interaction with others. The trainer regulates learning momentum, brings complementary information at the right time with respect to the audience evolution. It requires a new trainer's behavior and a commitment of the parties, changing attitudes.

Abstract
Improving higher education requires a pedagogical transformation of the trainers but also of the learners committed in their learning activities. In the framework of distance learning and WIL, learner-centered pedagogical approaches are useful. Thus, the Conceptual Map Project (CMP) is proposed with the support of Perspec-Map, a software aimed at strengthening the knowledge acquisition in automatic control of the audience in WIL. Perspec-Map is a web application promoting reflexive learning based on the sharing of users' point of view, thanks to multi-perspectives. It is an additional support for collaboration and blended-course momentum, changing the behavior of all the parties involved. On the basis of an evaluation with users, several improvements are envisioned: easier map design; management of the trainer-perspective for an improved reference map enriched by the peer reviews; availability of a digitally assisted trainer dashboard for map quality assessment, skills recognition, and facilitated guidance. These last issues demand an ethics and learning analytics.
