The Current Situation, Problems and Suggestions on Blended Learning at Chinese Colleges and Universities

Abstract

With the rapid development of education informatization, blended learning has become one of the trends of China’s higher education reform. Especially with the influence of coronavirus, colleges and universities across the country have carried out the largest online learning practice, which has greatly accelerated the pace of education informatization. However, in order to follow the trend of reform, many colleges and universities hastily promoted blended learning before they were ready, which has led to some problems, such as insufficient support of the learning environment, increasing pressure on teachers and cooling of students’ enthusiasm. This paper summarizes the previous research of blended learning in China and other countries, surveys its implementation at Chinese colleges and universities, analyzes the existing problems, and puts forward some suggestions and strategies.
