Abstract

This paper describes the author’s adoption of a blended or hybrid learning approach in her undergraduate introductory educational psychology course. Blended learning uses a combination of online learning and face-to-face instruction. The author decided to use the approach to increase the active engagement of her students in the course material and to model the use of technology for instruction to the teacher candidates taking the course. Action research was conducted across five semesters of blended learning implementation in order to examine the effectiveness of the technique and to make instructional modifications. The findings of the action research and how they were used to guide the evolution of the learning approach are discussed.
