Student Choice of Traditional or Blended Learning Activities Improves Satisfaction and Learning Outcome

摘要

Of particular interest to designing effective BME courses is how to align content-dependent professional expectations with a learner-centered classroom environment. Often the focus is primarily on what the instructor is doing to deliver content rather than what the student is doing to interact with the content and take responsibility for his/her own learning. Course designs that provide students with choices of assignments motivate learning by allowing students to align their desired content interests, commitment level, and types of activity, and increased student autonomy fosters student motivation.
