Title
Applying blended learning in an industrial context - An experience report
Abstract
This paper, describes the experience made with coaching enriched blended learning in the context of industrial technology transfer projects. Based on numerous applications of our modular blended learning approach for teaching object-oriented software development with UML, an attempt has been made to improve the design, the organization and the execution of the blended learning arrangement. Therefore, we collected data on the learning environment, the learners behavior and preferences. The results from the questioning in an industrial setting, although far from being representative because of the small number of respondents, give some interesting insights in the needs and expectations of learners and the usage of different elements of blended learning arrangements which could serve as hypotheses for later in depth studies.
