Impact of Technology-Enabled Learning on Student Learning Experiences and Teacher Pedagogic Practices at The University of Papua New Guinea

Abstract

This report details the implementation of blended learning at UPNG and explores the readiness of its students through their perceptions of, satisfaction with and attitudes towards blended learning. Additionally, the study reflects on the effectiveness of the training COL provided to the facilitators by capturing their perceptions of blended learning and their experiences while facilitating the blended courses. A student survey was carried out in all the blended courses offered by UPNG in the first half of the 2020 academic year. Results show that the students have a positive attitude towards blended learning and are ready to adopt this newly introduced mode of delivery at UPNG. The facilitators also described having positive teaching and learning experiences with blended learning and acknowledged the training they had received from COL.
