商品描述

This book chronicles a 10-year introduction of blended learning into the delivery at a leading technological university, with a longstanding tradition of technology-enabled teaching and learning, and state-of-the-art infrastructure. Hence, both teachers and students were familiar with the idea of online courses. Despite this, the longitudinal experiment did not proceed as expected. Though few technical problems, it required behavioural changes from teachers and learners, thus unearthing a host of socio-technical issues, challenges, and conundrums.

With the undercurrent of design ideals such as "tech for good", any industrial sector must examine whether digital platforms are credible substitutes or at best complementary. In this era of Industry 4.0, higher education, like any other industry, should not be about the creative destruction of what we value in universities, but their digital transformation. The book concludes with an agenda for large, repeatable Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) to validate digital platforms that could fulfil the aspirations of the key stakeholder groups - students, faculty, and regulators as well as delving into the role of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as surrogates for "fees-free" higher education and whether the design of such a HiEd 4.0 platform is even a credible proposition.

Specifically, the book examines the data-driven evidence within a design-based research methodology to present outcomes of two alternative instructional designs evaluated - traditional lecturing and blended learning. Based on the research findings and statistical analysis, it concludes that the inexorable shift to online delivery of education must be guided by informed educational management and innovation.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書記錄了一所領先科技大學在過去十年中引入混合學習的過程,該大學擁有長期以來的科技輔助教學和學習傳統,以及最先進的基礎設施。因此,教師和學生對於線上課程的概念都相當熟悉。儘管如此,這項縱向實驗並未如預期進行。雖然技術問題不多,但卻需要教師和學習者的行為改變,從而揭示出一系列社會技術問題、挑戰和難題。

在「科技為善」等設計理念的潛流下,任何產業都必須檢視數位平台是否為可信的替代方案,或至多是互補的。在這個工業4.0的時代,高等教育與其他產業一樣,應該不是對我們在大學中所重視的事物進行創造性破壞,而是其數位轉型。書中最後提出了一個大型、可重複的隨機對照試驗(RCT)議程,以驗證數位平台是否能滿足主要利益相關者群體——學生、教職員和監管機構的期望,並深入探討大規模開放線上課程(MOOCs)作為「免學費」高等教育的替代品的角色,以及這樣的高等教育4.0平台的設計是否真的是一個可信的提案。

具體而言,這本書檢視了基於設計的研究方法中的數據驅動證據,以呈現兩種替代教學設計的結果——傳統講授和混合學習。根據研究結果和統計分析,書中得出結論:教育的線上交付不可避免的轉變必須由知情的教育管理和創新來引導。

作者簡介

Kevin Anthony Jones is Professor of computer science and currently a Research Fellow at the Center for Inclusive Digital Enterprise (CeIDE); he is also a Senior Fellow in Advance Higher Education, and based in Singapore. In this COVID-19 year, he was a Visiting Assistant Professor at Zayed University in Dubai. Prior to that, he served for over 17 years of experience as an academic at Nanyang Technological University. His discipline expertise is software system engineering and deployment, which he extends to his life-long passion of innovational learning and teaching in tertiary education. His most recent major experiments via the design-based research methodology enabled by new educational technology are core course: A) active (no lecturing) blended learning during 2007-2011, and B) flipped classroom during 2014-2018. In parallel since 2009, Kevin has been conducting ongoing research in serious games, MOOCs, and active-video-learning prototypes, with a view to incorporating them into full-time courses. In his spare time, he is completing an eBook on software system analysis and design, grounded in active-learning precepts

Ravishankar Sharma is currently Chair of the Information Systems Group at the University of Canterbury Business School (New Zealand) and Founding Director of the Centre for Inclusive Digital Enterprise - CeIDE. Prior to this, he was Visiting Professor of Information Systems at ESSEC Business School (Asia Pacific). He received the B.Sc. (Com. Sci., Math. & Econ.) from Brandon, M.Sc. (Com. Sci.) from Regina, and Ph.D. (Management Sciences) from Waterloo. He has held academic appointments for over two decades at NTU, St FX, and visiting appointments at the Institute of Technology Bandung, USC Marshall School, IIT Bombay, IMD, and the SP Jain School of Global Management. He has spent 10 years in industry as Asean Communications Industry Principal at IBM Global Services and Director of the Multimedia Competency Centre of Deutsche Telekom Asia. His teaching, consulting, and research interests are in knowledge and digital economic strategies; focused on digital transformations using data analytics and design thinking. He has also been involved in Singapore's Initiative for Asean Integration by training senior officials in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, and Myanmar in Advanced IT Planning. He has successfully secured over $1m in grants as Principal Investigator of the NCB-funded S-ONE field trials, an NRF-funded project that calls itself the Special Interest Group on Interactive Digital Enterprises (SIGIDE) and an MoE tier 2 grant on digital literacies, knowledge societies, and sustainable development.
