About this book

This book demonstrates how blended learning improves access to and enhances the quality of higher education teaching and learning in Asian universities. It first discusses how leading universities in the region drive and support blended learning at the institutional level to enhance student learning engagement and outcomes. It then examines 10 effective implementations and lessons learned of blended learning practices across different disciplinary courses and programmes (humanities and language, science and engineering, social science and education, and others) in the region. The chapters in this book provide an overview of the opportunities and challenges of blended learning for improved access and enhanced quality of higher education, and offer insights into the promising blended learning policies and practices in Asian universities.

Reviews

“The book would inspire and encourage policy makers, administrators, and practitioners to tackle the issues arising from the implementation of BL overnight. … The content of this book is socially, culturally, economically and politically diverse …. . Readers and BL practitioners from other parts of the world will easily identify the contexts that are similar to their own and apply related practices used and lessons learnt from this book to empower their BL implementation.” (Liwei Liu, Innovations in Education and Teaching International, January 3, 2022)
