Making effective learning possible in two alternative models of blended face to face/online teaching : the students’ verdict

摘要

This paper discusses two different approaches to a blended face to face/online teaching delivery model trialled in 2004 and 2005 in a unit entitled Alternative Justice Processes. Both approaches aimed to make effective learning possible for students. However, student evaluations of the unit indicated that only one model was accepted by students as having created an effective learning environment. This paper uses Ramsden’s six key principles of effective learning to explore the different reactions of the students to the two models.
