The learner characteristics/backgrounds being investigated for blended learning effectiveness include self-regulation, computer competence, workload management, social and family support, attitude to blended learning, gender and age. Their computer confidence levels are reported at 75.3% and specifically feel very confident when it comes to working with a computer (85.7%). An examination of learner characteristics/background, design features and learning outcomes as factors for effectiveness can help to inform the design of effective learning environments that involve face-to-face sessions and online aspects. Research shows that blended learning strategies have the proven potential to enhance both the effectiveness and the efficiency of meaningful learning experiences. Self regulation as a learner characteristic is a predictor of knowledge construction. Evaluate post-coaching data to supervise coaching effectiveness, provide insights and action . Studies comparing blended learning with traditional face-to-face have indicated that learners perform equally well in blended learning and their performance is unaffected by the delivery method (Kwak, Menezes, & Sherwood, 2013). . Blended learning appears to have a consistent positive effect in comparison with no intervention, and to be more effective than or at least as effective as nonblended instruction for knowledge acquisition in health professions. Learners however reported the value/usefulness of blended learning at 91% with majority believing that studying online and face-to-face had value for them (93.3%) and were therefore willing to take part in blended learning (91.2%). (2009) Effects of immediacy on recall of information. Methods All participants ( n = 37) were randomly allocated into three groups. Blended learning-current use, challenges and best practices. Kenney and Newcombe (2011) did their comparison to establish effectiveness in view of grades and found that blended learning had higher average score than the non-blended learning environment. All it requires is the right technology, and training, to do the job right. One big challenge is about how users can successfully use the technology and ensuring participants commitment given the individual learner characteristics and encounters with technology (Hofmann, 2014). 1994 Aug;37(8):7682. Two reviewers independently evaluated study quality and abstracted information including characteristics of learners and intervention (study design, exercises, interactivity, peer discussion, and outcome assessment). Learners need to seek helpful assistance from peers and teachers through chats, email and face-to-face meetings for effectiveness (Lynch & Dembo, 2004).

Journal of Instructional Psychology, 28(3), 191198. Although significant publication bias was found, the trim and fill method showed that the effect size changed to 0.26 (95% CI -0.01 to 0.54) after adjustment. The goal is not to complement or replace conventional learning styles, but rather to incorporate necessary changes to make the educational path for learners more effective and personalized. We conducted a search of citations in Medline, CINAHL, Science Direct, Ovid Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, and ERIC through September 2014.

Educational Technology & Society, 14(2), 224235. (2012). A study by Blocker and Tucker (2001) also showed that learners had difficulties with technology and inadequate group participation by peers leading to dissatisfaction within these design features. Self regulation is the only learner characteristic predicting intrinsic motivation in blended learning while technology quality, online tools and interactions are the design features predicting intrinsic motivation. Learners do well with word processing, e-mail, spreadsheets and web browsers but still lag below average in html tools. BMC Med Educ. Zielinski, D. (2000).

Student-teacher interaction was reported at 71% through instructors individually working with them online (57.2%) and being well guided towards learning goals (81%). Article In another study, learning experience and performance are known to improve when traditional course delivery is integrated with online learning (Stacey & Gerbic, 2007). Retrieved 04 Aug 2015. Springer Nature. Evaluation is not easy, however. The design features (technology quality, interactions) and learner characteristics (self regulation and social support), were found to be significant predictors of learner knowledge construction. The common form of communication medium frequently used by learners during the blended learning experience was by phone (34.5%) followed by whatsapp (21.8%), face book (21%), discussion board (11.8%) and email (10.9%). A t-test was carried out to establish the performance of male and female learners in the blended learning set up. Greer, Hudson and Paugh further noted that peer encouragement assisted new learners in computer use and applications.
