- How will it blend?: design considerations for blended learning in higher educationPublication . Miranda, Paula; Isaías, Pedro; Pífano, Sara; Auer, Michael E.; Rüütmann, TiiaWithin the higher education sector, blended learning strategies succeed largely because of their promise to deliver the best of both worlds to students: face-to-face education and online learning. The implementation of blended learning in courses and programmes is commonly associated with an enhanced student expe-rience resulting from broader access to learning resources, improved interactivity and cooperation, increased participation and motivation, and increased control of students’ own learning. This paper presents a design model that can assist in the development, implementation and evaluation of blended learning courses. The model is supported by a review of the literature and a multiple case study analysis of three higher education courses, in Australia. The design model is composed of six core elements: early planning and clear communication, in-class active learning, appropriate online technology selection, engaging online content and activities, student online and in-class assessment, and multi-layered course evaluation.
- Implementation and evaluation of a chatbot in a business course in higher educationPublication . Isaías, Pedro; Hoque, Tania Tanzin; Miranda, PaulaWhile the higher education sector is continuously searching for innovative technologies, the use of chatbots requires extensive research and careful consideration of their pedagogical value. The lessons learned from lecturers who experiment with chatbots can constitute important evidence to support their use. This paper presents a chatbot specifically designed for a Higher Education course, named RESOURCEbot, its mechanics and workflows. This chatbot was used in a university course to assist the students with recommendations of relevant research papers. It is also presented the chatbot´s evaluation. The evaluation of the RESOURCEbot derived from a questionnaire that was distributed among the students to assess their opinions about the experience of using a chatbot, its performance and their intention to use chatbots in educational settings. The results highlighted some of RESOURCEbot’s limitations, such as some difficulty in understanding the students’ prompts, but overall they reflected the students’ positive opinions concerning its ease of use, and the value and pertinence of its recommendations.
