From August 5-9, 2024, a scientific workshop on Innovation in Teaching Methods according to the Blended Learning model was taken place at The University of Danang - University of Economics (UD-DUE).

Panorama of the Workshop

According to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Le Van Huy, Rector of the UD-DUE, this was an active teaching and learning method that demonstrates effectiveness like the Professional Development for Blended Courses (ToT program) within the framework of the Partnership for Higher Education Reform Project (PHER).

This method is popular in many developed educational systems; flexible, diversifying teaching and learning media and environments, reducing training costs and suitable for the trend of online and distance training (e-learning) in the current 4.0 era.

(1) Essential elements of Blended Learning (core components, requiring integration between face-to-face teaching and online teaching-learning) to increase learners' engagement and learning effectiveness;

(2) Basic principles of Blended Learning (flexibility, using diverse methods and tools to meet open learning needs) according to the motto "taking learners as the center";

(3) Advanced principles of Blended Learning (based on training strategy, technology application, data warehouse, from which to design learning path towards personal optimization);

Lecturers exchanged and discussed

(4) Assessing student learning outcomes: Ensuring goals are met, providing feedback for continuous improvement;

(5) Developing a teaching plan: Consistent with course objectives, assessment methods and ensuring learning resources for learner successfully;

(6) Teaching-learning design: Connecting teaching-learning objectives with assessment of results; combining the application of multimedia technology to enhance interactivity and experiential opportunities for learners;

(7) Teaching-learning technical tools: Evaluating and selecting appropriate “smart” platforms and tools to support effective learning.

The workshop was an opportunity to exchange experiences,

update advanced teaching methods and apply new technology
