贡献：通过增加一个并行的在线小组，演示了工程硕士项目从面对面学习到混合学习的转变，展示了混合学习和在线学习在互动水平、入学率、学生满意度、辍学率和最终成绩方面的协同作用。背景：教育从传统的面对面学习到混合和完全在线学习的转变可以通过不同的方式来应对。广泛的研究表明，在线资源的整合对学习成果有积极的影响，可以帮助确保硕士课程的连续性。预期结果：提高入学率和学生满意度，降低辍学率。应用设计：新的设备和在线资源以及额外的支持材料允许学生选择他们喜欢的学习方式：异步（讲座捕捉）或同步（面对面或直播讲座）。结果：改革提高了入学率和学生满意度，降低了辍学率。新方法显著提高了学生的平均成绩，混合组和在线组之间没有发现显著差异。本案例研究可以指导其他院校在工程硕士学位课程中成功实施混合在线学习。
Contribution: A demonstration of a move from face-to-face to blended learning in an engineering Master's program by adding a parallel online group, which showed the synergy between blended and online approaches in terms of level of interaction, enrollment, student satisfaction, dropout rate, and final grades. Background: Education's transition from traditional face-to-face learning to blended and full online learning can be confronted in different ways. Extensive research has demonstrated that the incorporation of online resources has a positive effect on learning outcomes and can help to assure the continuity of a Master's program. Intended Outcomes: To increase enrollment and student satisfaction, and reduce the dropout rate. Application Design: New equipment and online resources and additional support material allowed students to choose their preferred manner of studying: asynchronous (lecture capture) or synchronous (face-to-face or live broadcast lecture). Findings: The changes increased enrollment and student satisfaction, and lowered the dropout rate. The new methodology significantly improved students' average grades, with no significant differences being found between the blended and online groups. This case study could guide other institutions in the successful implementation of blended and online learning in an engineering Master's degree program.
