Introduction
• 2000: e-learning was not preferred at all
• 2005: e-learning components was preferred by some of students
• 2009: e-learning components were preferred by many of students
• e-Learning in distance education institutions, conventional education, continuing education, corporate training, primary and secondary schools.
• Two figures from mainland China:
– 2001 – 2008 invested 11.1 billion in developing e-learning in primary and secondary schools in rural areas
– Predicted e-learning market scale in corporate e-learning training: 72.3 billion in 2012.

e-Learning Modes
12
Content Delivered Online (%)
Type of Course Typical Description
1 to 29% Web Facilitated Course that uses web-based technology to facilitate what is essentially a face-to-face course. Uses a course management system (CMS) or web pages to post the syllabus and assignments, for example.
30 to 79% Blended Learning Course that blends online and face-to-face delivery. Substantial proportion of the content is delivered online, typically uses online discussions, and typically has some face-to-face meetings.
80+% Online Learning A course where most or all of the content is delivered online. Typically has no face-to-face meetings.

• BL= combined teaching media

Integrated Learning
• “Blended” learning might not be the right terminology
• Not just a mixture of teaching and learning modes
• Integrate different modes in order to use the best of all
and minimize the weaknesses of each
• More proper to use “Integrated Learning”

Instructional Design in Integrated Learning
Instructional Design
• Instructional Design is a system of developing well-structured instructional materials and learning activities to meet learning outcomes.
• It is also a systematic planning process which includes needs assessment, development, evaluation, implementation, and maintenance of resources and programmes.
32
Instructional Design Models
• There are many instructional models such as – ADDIE model
(Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement & Evaluate)– Dick and Carey model– Instructional Development Learning System (IDLS) – and many more
Among those, the most commonly used is the ADDIE Model.

•Write a redesigned lesson plan
2
•Prepare lesson materials
3
•Perform research and prepare resources
4
•Incorporate into LMS
5
•Review the created lessons materials

Instructional Design Stepsin HKU SPACE
• Develop initial plan–Overall course structure– Teaching and learning strategies
integrating learning objectives– Teaching plan–Assessment strategy
Step 1: Create an Overviewof the Course
Step 1: Create an Overviewof the Course
• How to perform each learning activity– Teacher will be able to see what changes they
should make or have.• How to deliver teaching materials– Classroom / E-learning– Before / During/ After the class– Individual / Group
“What are the best tools and methods I can use to make a productive and exciting lesson
for my students?”
Step 2: Write a RedesignLesson Plan
Step 2: Write a RedesignLesson Plan
In blended learning, it’s strongly recommended to develop an outline concerning what can be done
before, during and after class.
Step 2: Write a RedesignLesson Plan
• Pre Class Activity– Textbook reading & warm-up quiz• Prepare for the coming class• Contribute more in classroom lecture• Learn and apply knowledge more effectively
• Classroom– Video clip– Group work and presentation
• Post Class Activity– Chapter review– Chapter exercise
• Additional Resources
Step 2: Write a RedesignLesson Plan
“ Where it will make the lesson easier or more effective?”
– Develop new multimedia– Select or Modify existing lesson
materials
Step 3: PrepareLesson Materials
Step 3: PrepareLesson Materials
Step 3: PrepareLesson Materials
Step 3: PrepareLesson Materials
• Perform research• Prepare extensive and quality educational
resources (e.g. OER)• Provide more interesting learning
environment• Consider two things:–Develop critical attitude– Link to learning objects and contents
Step 4: Perform research &Prepare resources
• Incorporate into learning management system
Step 5: Incorporate into LMS
Step 5: Incorporate into LMS
• Review created lessons and materials–Check list– Feedback list
• Check access to resources and quality assurance of learning materials
Are you ready to implement your course?
Step 6: Review the Created Lessons Materials
Conclusion
•Create an overview of the course
1
•Write a redesigned lesson plan
2
•Prepare lesson materials
3
•Perform research and prepare resources
4
•Incorporate into LMS
5
•Review the created lessons materials
6
Conclusion
• Choose a suitable blend by carefully considering the factors involved.
• Provide training or workshop to ensure the quality of instruction in new learning environment
• Different ways in implementation for different institutes
• If done well, blended learning can provide better results than can be achieved by using any single learning method.
