Distance education is constantly evolving and improving. To stay current, effective online instructors must utilize the most innovative, evidence-based teaching methods available to promote student learning and satisfaction in their courses. One emerging teaching method, referred to as blended online learning (BOL), involves collaborative education across multiple university settings. In this article, we describe an inter-university educational collaboration designed to connect students from various academic institutions using the BOL teaching method. The article begins with an overview of the theoretical framework that informs the BOL method, followed by an overview of the method and its key components. Benefits of this collaborative learning effort to students, educators, universities, and the profession are also provided. The article culminates with implications for using the BOL method with rehabilitation educators, including collaborative teaching tips for working in educator and student teams.

With the development of the information age, there is almost one mobile smart device based on android, which is inseparable from mobile smart devices in both learning and life. In order to explore the effects of mobile smart devices on tennis teaching, this article mainly introduces the research on the tennis online teaching information platform based on android mobile smart terminals. This article first uses the android system framework and software architecture to design the technical aspects of the tennis online teaching information platform and then analyzes and improves the functional and nonfunctional requirements of the tennis online teaching information platform and students’ needs for mobile learning. For the design of aspects other than the technology of the online teaching information platform, the control group and the experimental group were designed to carry out teaching experiments, comparing the traditional teaching methods and the teaching methods of the online teaching information platform to bring out different teaching effects to tennis teaching. The results show that online teaching has a better learning effect on tennis skills and tennis theory knowledge, and the academic performance of the traditional teaching method is improved by 20%.

Project-based learning is one of the most effective and successful teaching methods for STEM topics. Project-based teaching is an open-ended teaching method that helps teachers stimulate students’ initiative and teamwork skills and promote creativity. Of the interdisciplinary STEM topics, teaching students how to produce aromatic wax proved an interesting topic, causing excitement to students. Through collaborative teaching, this research has shown that students are very interested in learning to produce aromatic wax. The research results also show that there are five factors that greatly affect project-based teaching: (1) Teachers must split the class into groups to implement projects effectively; (2) Topics must be attractive and motivate students to appreciate, explore and produce STEM products; (3) Students must have a positive attitude, unafraid of encountering difficulties and challenges in completing STEM tasks; (4) Students must be competent to implement STEM products; (5) Students must be facilitated by their school and their parents to complete the STEM tasks. The research findings have important implications for proposing a specific project-based learning curriculum on the STEM topic of aromatic wax production.

Abstract. This paper pointed out the problems existing in the teaching of data structure and algorithm, and expounded the teaching innovation of teaching environment, teaching mode, teaching organization, teaching content and teaching method based on the problem orientation. The teaching environment relied on digital campus + smart classroom + learning through teaching wisdom software, and the teaching mode adopted the blending teaching model of online and offline. The teaching team was established to construct the course, and the division of teaching tasks was carried out. The classroom was integrated into the grouping teaching, and the high-quality teaching resources were integrated. The localization design was carried out, and the grouping, inquiry, participation and cooperation teaching methods were integrated into the traditional heuristic and case teaching. Finally, the form of data comparison showed the effectiveness of teaching innovation.

Abstract Background: To determine the effect of the three teaching methods on the learning of contact lenses and provide recommendations to improve Contact Lenses teaching in optometric education.Methods: The survey was conducted at Tianjin Medical University with the students' evaluations of educational quality (SEEQ) questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale over 2 weeks in June 2021. It is for optometry students whose contact lenses were taught by any of three methods: 92 students enrolled in 2017 at Dagang campus performed online learning, 60 students enrolled in 2017 at Qixiangtai campus performed offline learning, and 100 students enrolled in 2018 at Dagang campus performed blended learning: both online and offline; A total of 252 students were invited to participate in this study. Descriptive statistics were performed to analyze SEEQ items. ANOVA was used to determine significant differences among different teaching methods.Results: 221 valid questionnaires were collected, with a response rate of 87.70% (221/252). Among them, 87(39.37%) were male, and 134(60.63%) were female. Offline teaching students had longer contact time with the faculty than online teaching and blended teaching (p<0.05). No statistically significant differences in sex or academic performance were found among 3 different teaching methods (p=0.33, p=0.91, respectively). There were 18.10% (40/221) of students who suggested increasing experiment and practice time.Conclusion: The traditional offline teaching method had a stable teaching effect. Students had more contact time with faculty than students taught by online and blended teaching. Online teaching and blended teaching worked as well as offline learning. The effectiveness was not be influenced by gender and academic performance.

Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in China in December 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic hindered dental education, as school buildings were closed. Online dental teaching provided an alternative teaching tool for dental education. However, the efficiency of online dental teaching and student preferences for online dental teaching are unclear. Aim To investigate the satisfaction with online dental teaching practices among undergraduate dental students and standardized resident physician training students during the COVID-19 pandemic in China. Methods A total of 104 undergraduate dental students and 57 standardized resident physician training students from Zhejiang University participated in the study. A 12-item survey was conducted. This investigation included the teaching methods received, frequency of classes, degree of satisfaction, preferred teaching method, whether to participate in a course regarding COVID-19 prevention, and the effects of teaching. The percentages were then calculated and evaluated for each item. Results A total of 161 students (104 undergraduate dental students and 57 standardized resident physician training students) participated in this survey. All students had online dental classes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lecture-based learning (LBL), case-based learning (CBL), problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), and research-based learning (RBL) were selected as teaching methods. Students were more satisfied with LBL and CBL than PBL, RBL, and TBL. The majority of students had more than four classes per week. The most selected protective measures were hand washing, wearing masks, and wearing gloves. A total of 46.6% of students participated in courses on COVID-19. After training, the students consciously chose to wear face shields and protective clothing. Conclusions Dental students accepted online dental learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Students preferred LBL and CBL and were satisfied with the classes. Courses on COVID-19 helped students understand how to prevent COVID-19 transmission in the dental clinic.
