This book presents a framework for integrating blended learning and
massive open online courses (MOOCs) in the Indian education system. It
argues that blended teaching and learning is the most suitable approach
to education in a post-COVID-19 world. Drawing on case studies used in
blended learning practices around the world, the book provides ample
resources for beginners to improvise the spread of knowledge around
information technology in higher education. It discusses various
concepts such as flip learning in blended learning models and examines
the self-assessment tools and structures it offers to institutions for
building competencies.
In addition to addressing the challenges and opportunities of adopting
the digital mode of teaching, the book also offers techniques and
concepts helpful for designing MOOCs. It covers concepts such as
curriculum designing, content flow, teaching behavior, and evaluation
patterns, which are important aspects of online teaching. An
indispensable guide to navigating the shift from offline to online
teaching, this book will be of interest to students, teachers, and
researchers of education, education technology, digital education, and
information technology. It will also be useful to policymakers,
educational institutions, EdTech start-ups, NGOs in the education
sector, and online education centers.
