| Summary: | showcase a model of blended learning that is
used by the recently established Open University Malaysia (OUM). In this model,
learning experiences are offered through: (1) self-managed learning, (2) F2F learning,
and (3) online (virtual classroom) learning. Self-managed learning (using print materials)
is the most dominant element in the model, accounting for approximately 70 percent of
the expected 40 hours of learning time per course credit. OUM learners also have the
option of meeting in-class with a tutor and other students five times in a fifteen week
semester. Increasingly, the self-managed and F2F components of the learning experience
are being supported by online discussions and interactions with online digital learning
objects. The chapter is summed up with ten major challenges currently faced by the
OUM including issues such as sustainability, pedagogical effectiveness, efficiency, and
the democratization of education. |
