This study reports on recent doctoral research focused on six academic staff working in early blended learning environments in campus-based contexts at a large Australian university. The case-based research reports on how information and communications technology (ICT) was used by each of these staff, all early adopters of new technologies, to enhance their face-to-face teaching, and how this use contributed to an understanding of blended learning in higher education.

Produktbeschreibung
This study reports on recent doctoral research
focused on six academic staff working in early
blended learning environments in campus-based
contexts at a large Australian university. The
case-based research reports on how information and
communications technology (ICT) was used by each of
these staff, all early adopters of new
technologies, to enhance their face-to-face teaching,
and how this use contributed to an understanding of
blended learning in higher education. Across the
cases, seven dimensions of blended learning
environments were identified a significant finding
of this study. Overall, the study enhances
understanding of the nature, purpose and scope of
early blended learning approaches in a university
setting, and highlights the importance of academics'
use of resource-based learning to create blended
learning environments across a range of courses. The
study also establishes reasons why these teachers
embraced the use of ICT in their on-campus teaching,
and provides insights into how each perceived their
teaching role.
