Ситуация с пандемией обострила необходимость более широкого применения дистанционных образовательных технологий в рамках системы смешанного обучения. Цель нашей работы заключается в раскрытии сущности и содержания понятия «смешанное обучение». Реферативный обзор отечественной и зарубежной научно-методической литературы показал, что смешанное обучение рассматривается исследователями по-разному: как система обучения, интеграция форм обучения, интеграция традиционного преподавания и онлайн-обучения, образовательная программа, педагогический подход. Мы полагаем, что специфика смешанного обучения не может быть сведена к своеобразию отдельных его элементов - только его содержания или методов и форм его организации. «Смешанное обучение» рассматривается нами как целостная педагогическая система, которая характеризуется качественным своеобразием содержания учебного материала, средств, методов и форм организации процесса его освоения и усвоения учащимися. Она интегрирует дидактические возможности традиционного очного обучения и электронного дистанционного обучения и предполагает активное участие учащегося в планировании, освоении и усвоении учебного материала, в применении знаний в практической деятельности, в контроле пути, времени, места, темпа и траектории обучения. The pandemic situation has exacerbated the need for greater use of distance learning technologies in blended learning. The purpose of our work is to reveal the essence and content of the concept of blended learning. An abstract review of domestic and foreign scientific and methodological literature showed that blended learning is considered by the researchers in different ways. They are learning system, integration of forms of education, integration of traditional teaching and online learning, educational program, pedagogical approach. We believe that the specifics of blended learning cannot be reduced to the originality of its specific elements: only its content, or methods and forms of its organization. Blended learning is considered by us as an integral pedagogical system, which is characterized by a qualitative originality of the content of educational material, tools, methods and forms of organization of the process of its development and assimilation by students. It integrates the didactic possibilities of traditional face-to-face learning and e-learning, involving the active participation of the student in the planning, development and assimilation of educational material; application of knowledge in practical activities, control of the path, time, place, pace and trajectory of learning.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.

Education sector in Malaysia had put emphasis on the use of online learning or e-learning with technology and devices as a mediator of communication to replace face-to-face learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, with the improvement of learning technologies, English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers faced various challenges in language teaching. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate the challenges ESL teachers faced in implementing e-learning during COVID-19. Using a qualitative approach, this research was a case study which involved 20 primary ESL teachers. Data collection was done through an in-depth interview to explore teachers’ e-learning experiences and challenges in teaching the English language. Based on the findings, the majority of teachers expressed that the use of e-learning was effective with various limitations such as teachers’ readiness to adopt e-learning, accessibility to mobile phones and Internet connectivity, classroom management in term of low students’ participation and assessment. Thus, the researcher recommended more studies to highlight teachers’ insight regarding the significance of e-learning. ESL teachers, stakeholders, policy makers, and institutions can benefit from the results of the study and come out with practical strategies to utilize online sources for education in the pandemic situation.

<p><strong> </strong></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p>               <em>The development of technology, especially information technology (internet), gradually unintentionally gives influence to education either directly or indirectly. The influence is clearly visible one of them to the method of learning. Learning methods that used to be done only face-to-face in the classroom and make the educator as a center of information (conventional) gradually begin to change towards learning that is also on-line based on the internet as an information center (E-Learning internet based). In STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat E-Learning internet based learning method itself has been introduced and implemented since 2014, but has not been maximally optimized. This is because the method does not have a standard in its implementation, and also conventional face-to-face learning method can not be abandoned completely, hence there is overlap between the two. Accordingly, this study developed a model of learning that combines the concept of conventional learning with the concept of E-Learning internet based called Blended Learning. Blended Learning model is expected to be a solution to the above problems, so that the learning process can be implemented effectively. This research is research and development research (R &amp; D) with the outcome is a product that is learning model design</em>.</p><p align="center"><em> </em></p><p align="center"><strong><em>Abstrak</em></strong></p><p><em>Berkembangnya teknologi khususnya teknologi informasi (internet), berangsur angsur tanpa disadari memberikan pengaruh terhadap pendidikan baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Pengaruh tersebut terlihat jelas salah satunya terhadap metode pembelajaran.

Di STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat metode pembelajaran E-Learning internet based sendiri sudah diperkenalkan dan diterapkan sejak tahun 2014, tetapi belum telaksana secara maksimal. Hal ini disebabkan karena metode tersebut belum memiliki standar baku dalam pelaksanaannya, dan juga metode pembelajaran tatap muka secara konvensional belum bisa ditinggalkan secara utuh, karenanya terjadi tumpang tindih antara keduanya. Sehubungan dengan itu, pada penelitian ini dikembangkan sebuah model pembelajaran yang menggabungkan konsep pembelajaran konvensional dengan konsep E-Learning internet based yang disebut dengan Blended Learning. Model pembelajaran Blended Learning ini nantinya diharapkan dapat menjadi solusi atas permasalahan tersebut di atas, sehingga proses pembelajaran dapat terlaksana secara efektif. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian riset dan pengembangan (Research and Development/RnD) dengan luarannya adalah sebuah produk yaitu desain model pembelajaran. </em></p><p> </p>

In this chapter we present our work aimed at interweaving e-learning and face-to-face learning in Calculus courses for undergraduate engineering students. This type of blended learning (BL) contains the best properties of e-learning and face-to-face learning and helps overcome many obstacles in traditional teaching. We use our approach in order to improve students’ conceptual understanding of theorems. We describe online assignments specifically designed to help students better understand the meaning of a theorem. These assignments are given to students in addition to traditional lectures and tutorials with the objective that they can learn to learn on their own. Students “discover” the theorem and study it independently, by using a “bank” of examples and a lot of theoretical exercises we supply. The assignments are built in such a way that students receive feedback and instructions in response to their Web-based activity.

This chapter presents a prototypal e-learning system based on the Semantic Web paradigm, called SWELS (Semantic Web E-Learning System). The chapter starts by introducing e-learning as an efficient and just-in-time tool supporting the learning processes. Then a brief description of the evolution of distance learning technologies will be provided, starting from first generation e-learning systems through the current Virtual Learning Environments and Managed Learning Environments, by underling the main differences between them and the need to introduce standards for e-learning with which to manage and overcome problems related to learning content personalization and updating. Furthermore, some limits of the traditional approaches and technologies for e-learning will be provided, by proposing the Semantic Web as an efficient and effective tool for implementing new generation e-Learning systems. In the last section of the chapter, the SWELS system is proposed by describing the methodology adopted for organizing and modeling its knowledge base, by illustrating its main functionalities, and by providing the design of the tool followed by the implementation choices. Finally, future developments of SWELS will be presented, together with some remarks regarding the benefits for the final user in using such system.

The Covid-19 pandemic has forced us to make habits that we never imagined before. This also triggers changes in the learning system from primary education to higher education. One of the changes in the education system is the distance learning system (PJJ). In this condition, teachers must quickly adjust the new policies issued by the government, namely by learning activities and teaching students from home to prevent the spread of COVID-19. One of the efforts to do so that learning runs effectively is the blended learning method. Blended learning combines computer and internet technology offered by online learning and face-to-face learning participation to provide the most effective and efficient experience. Using the correct learning methods, overcoming learning obstacles due to COVID-19 can be overcome. With the blended learning method, students learn independently, and teachers can continue to explain the subject matter using learning media such as the internet.
