This chapter focuses on developing on-line collaboration. The basic premise is that an effective educational experience involves much more that just delivery of content material. In addition to effective content delivery, a positive educational experience also involves a climate conducive to learning. The recent push for web courses with either little or no face-to-face contact ignores the importance of subtle and cumulative effects of a variety of factors that create a learning environment. It is shown that recent educational research has found that students learn more effectively if they become partners in a cooperative learning environment, but they need the skills to do so. A model describing collaborative group development, instructor behavior, and student readiness for on-line cooperative learning is provided to show how instructors can foster on-line collaboration. The concept of transactional distance is used to describe aspects of the distance learning environment. Specific examples and recommendations are given for decreasing transactional distance and increasing on-line collaboration.

On Line Learning

Understanding the psychosocial classroom environment has been important in both traditional face-to-face courses and online education. Trickett and Moos (1974) pioneered the use of post-course self-report instruments to measure the classroom environment through the Classroom Environment Scale. More recently, Taylor and Maor (2000) developed the Constructivist On-Line Learning Environment Survey (COLLES) to examine the students’ perceptions of online learning environment in light of social constructivist pedagogical principles. The 24-item, Likert-type COLLES instrument is a popular measure for examining online learning environments for a least two reasons. First, it measures the online learning environment along constructivist categories, which makes it in line with the dominant pedagogical philosophy for online instruction. Second, the COLLES instrument is freely included in the Survey Module of Moodle, the most popular open source course management system available. This makes it particularly convenient for online instructors to use COLLES in their teaching and research.

Face To Face Learning

The Think Pair and Shairecooperative (TPS)learning method is a learning method in the form of group discussions which is commonly applied in face-to-face learning. It is new if the TPS model of cooperative learning method is applied in a network that remembers the pandemic situation and in the new learning year at school. Where the cooperative method becomes a discussion method that makes the cooperation of students more active and can socialize among new students in particular. This condition is necessary and good for students to increase cooperation and the socialization process between school friends. This study uses observation methods in data collection and uses cycle description methods in data analysis. This research generates new knowledge that cooperative research methods can be carried out in networks and using the Think Pair and Shaire model can positively increase cooperation between students and create a space for socialization among new students in particular.

Hybrid Learning Environment

Learning sites in higher education have become more diffuse, diverse, and tangled. As instructors, we can hybridize our encounters with students, meeting them one week in class; another week, in virtual space. Our initial experimentation with hybrid learning has left us face-to-face with breakthroughs, break-downs, and deep pedagogical dillemmas. In this chapter, we voice our emergent sensibilities about the transformative potential—both for our students and ourselves—of inhabiting a hybrid learning environment. Our discussion is based on our observations of doctoral students’ interaction and engagement on-line, as well as our own embodied sensitivities about how we, as instructors, experience ourselves and our work in the pedagogical movement between our classrooms and virtual space.

<div><p><em>Pedagogy has long been seen in terms of an art, a science or a craft. The journey of pedagogy has seen many ups and downs, like it was a practice of luxury in the past, made for the privileged ones; then it also became a tool of oppression in some places. Today, it is again going through a churning phase- marked with numerous experiments and novelties. The present paper is an effort to review the methods of teaching and training students focusing on a few upcoming pedagogical methods.  Blended learning environment is based on the assumption that the inherent benefits of face-to-face interaction maybe enhanced by using on-line methods.  It promotes a student-centred learning and encourages increased student interaction. In addition, by providing students with more control over their learning, blended learning can also help in improving a critical thinking. It gives students more autonomy to choose their learning practices. The teacher may not be an omniscient and omnipresent figure any more but his/ her optimal presence is altered for the better as well. The teacher needs to be more creative with his/her learning now. But as freedom always comes with more responsibility, Blended Learning also needs a very careful assimilation of the various methods.</em></p></div>

The increase in student enrolment and the need  to cater to students of diverse backgrounds have led to the adoption of blended learning in many higher learning institutions. Blended learning, which allows both face to face interaction and on-line delivery, has been adopted into many curricula. One such institution is University Technology MARA which is slowly introducing features of blended learning in its course syllabus beginning with practice to online assessments. However, to ensure successful implementation of blended learning as part of the curricula, there are several aspects for consideration such as learner and teacher readiness for blended learning. This paper examines issues regarding the use of blended learning as a delivery method at UiTM Kedah . The discussion in this paper focuses on learner’ readiness and perceptions of the blended learning environment. The data collected for this study are responses from learners to a questionnaire survey. The research findings form the basis for recommendations for the development of learning and teaching practices using blended learning approaches to enhance learners' learning experiences.
