Why not serve an educational buffet for students? — Blended Learning in Optics Experimental Education

摘要

When talking about higher education, it's hard not to run into a discussion on what's really better for student learning: online learning or traditional learning? Of course, the key is to offer both, and potentially emphasize blended learning as the less polarizing option. Online courses are much more flexible and less expensive, but powerless while hands-on practical capacity is involved. Traditional experimental course can maintain a fluid and solid learning process but is less productive due to its scheduled time and simplex access. In this paper, a buffet-style knowledge service mode applied m a 12-week-long project-based experimental course Optoelectromc Instrument Experiments (OIE) is discussed. Our purpose is to find a blended learning mode in experimental education.
