How to engage students in blended learning in a mathematics course: The students' views

Abstract

<p>Blended learning strategies are employed at many Australian universities to modernise teaching approaches. However, blended learning implementations may not take into account the views of students during the development process. In this paper, we discuss how students think we, as educators, can engage students in both face-to-face learning and online learning, as components of blended learning. We also report on student suggestions regarding how to build in opportunities to recover if a student has either missed a class, or not completed time-critical online work before coming to a class taught in flipped mode. These are two of a set of seven questions we posed two years ago at this conference, in the context of teaching mathematics in blended mode.</p>
