Maximising student engagement in online and blended learning: a survey of learner preferences

Online workshop facilitated by Dr Arturo Molina-Cristóbal, University of Glasgow Singapore (UGS) Active Learning Network
Blended learning is the integration of classroom face-to-face (F2F) learning with online learning experiences to engage students in a flexible learning framework. F2F lecturing is generally described as being more engaging. However, incorporation of online resources gives students choice and flexibility in how they approach their studies and can offer as an additional tool to further enhance and re-enforce content delivered in F2F learning experiences. A recent survey at University of Glasgow Singapore (UGS) found that students perceive the incorporation of online resources favourably, with recommendations for 40-60% of teaching experiences to be video-based/online. It is important that the online content, format and its delivery are designed to maximise student engagement. However, there is no consensus on the best format and balance between online work vs traditional face to face (F2F) setting to achieve this outcome, and best practice guidelines lacking. Concepts of emotional and cognitive engagement and self-determination theory have attracted attention as a possible way to describe and influence student engagement in blended learning. In this session, a survey of student engagement concepts will be presented and discussed.
