Online Teaching Model in the Context of Blended Learning Environment: Experiential Learning and TAM

Along with the development of the Internet and the new generation of ICT, blended learning (BL), online learning, and experiential learning (EL) are supposed to be the internationalized trends in the teaching reform of applied higher education, especially the curriculum reform. Many teachers have implemented blended online courses, combining synchronous and asynchronous online teaching activities. This study utilizes MOOC resources and platforms, along with smart teaching tools and live streaming software, to integrate the concept of EL and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) into the entire process of pre-class, in-class, and after-class teaching, from the perspectives of both teachers and students, and constructs an online teaching model in a BL environment. It was applied in the "Management Consulting" course and validated through a mixed-method approach including questionnaire surveys and semi-structured interviews. The results indicate that students have a positive learning experience with the online teaching model in a BL environment, and there are generally no issues with the use of platforms and tools during the implementation process. Overall, students are satisfied. This study provides theoretical and practical guidance for blended online learning such as self-directed learning, active learning, efficient learning, and precise learning with students as the main learning body.
