Practice of linux lesson in blended learning

Abstract

In recent years, online distribution of academic lectures to distant locations has occurred through development of Internet technology. To address several main challenges to distance learning-long-term motivation and effective evaluation of student progress-we developed a Blended Learning system combining face-to-face lecture and coursework along with online distance learning content. Under this system, the teacher could effectively evaluate student progress and also provide direct individual advice. Moreover, motivation was maintained through direct contact at lecture time. © Springer-Verlag 2004.
