Abstract

The new learning method of "Blended Learning" is widely applied. It integratess two typical forms of traditional classroom teaching and online teaching. How to unify them effectively? We explored the blended learning model .In the course of "Basic Program Design" we made an attempt for two years by using the example of teaching practice. We emphasized on the rates of attendance, including attendance in classroom and studying records on E-Learning. Student performance in classroom was recorded and immediately uploaded to E-learning platform. The teaching effectiveness was evaluated by thoroughly disserting in every detail of teaching, etc. Through the contrast, the quite good effect was obtained. This was the initial attempt to reform the learning model. In the future of teaching career, the effectiveness of blended learning model will be further explored in different courses.
