This chapter introduces the description of wiki appropriation. It considers the tool inclusion in an online educational innovation, supported in student and group-centered learning approach, to improve the quality of the blended learning offered. It states that the university course of educational technology, through wiki application as an appropriated methodology, beyond its consideration as a Web 2.0 tool, gives the opportunity to enhance the student protagonism into the deepening of the conceptual field of the subject by a collaborative knowledge construction. The evidence shows that the application worth to develop the learning strategies towards the student comprehension and its social skills in universities contexts. The results shows that the transformation of reactive attitudes into creative ones is a long process of change mediated by emotions and metacognitive work. Both facilitate a change of the students’ focus, perspectives, and mentalities, understandable by the help of collective learning, among diverse variables.

Dalam era komunikasi instan dewasa ini, cara belajar dan proses pembelajaran telah berubah. Kondisi ini membawa pembelajaran ke era e-learning di mana upaya belajar dan membelajarkan dapat difasilitasi dengan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi. Mengkombinasikan teknologi informasi dan komunikasi yang tepat (blended learning) merupakan salah satu isu penting dalam merancang e-learning yang baik. Oleh karena itu diperlukan semacam panduan (framework) yang dapat menjadikan acuan dalam memilih dan menentukan blended learning yang tepat sesuai kondisi dan tujuan yang ingin dicapai. Artikel ini mencoba memberikan framework untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut. Framework yang coba ditawarkan dalam artikel ini mengacu pada konsep e-learning, empat kuadran seting belajara menurut Noord, dua kontinum strategi pembelajaran menurut Smaldino dkk., dan empat standar proses pembelajaran yang penulis adaptasi dari Horton. Framewrok tersebut adalah bahwa dam merancang blneded learning perlu mempertimbangkan beberapa unsur sebagai berikut: 1) upaya memfasilitasi pengalaman belajar sebagai esensi dari e-learning; 2) optimalisasi empat standar proses pembelajaran dalam konteks e-learning; 3) pemilihan dan penentuan strategi pembelajaran yang tepat; dan 4) pemilihan dan penentuan teknologi dan tool TIK yang tepat dalam empat kuadran seting belajar. In the era of instant communication, today, learning and instructional process has changed. This condition has led learning into a new era called e-learning, where learning process can be facilitated with proper use of information and communication technology. Combining information and communication technology appropriately to facilitate learning has become an impportant issue in e-learning design context. Therefore, we need such a kind of framework as a guidance in selecting and determining the appropritae blended learning strategy to address the learning objectives to be achieved. The framework offered in this article refered to the essential concept of e-learning itself, four quadrants of learning seting offered by Noord, two continuum of instructional strategy offerd by Smaldino et. al., and four standard of e-learning process adapted by author from the work of Norton. The framework offered are that in designing blended learning, we should consider the following aspects: 1) efforts to facilitate learning experiences as the essence of e-learning; 2) optimalization of the four learning process standard in the context of e-learning; 3) selection and determination of appropriate learning strategies; and 4) selection and determination of apropriate learning seting and ICTs used in four quadrants of learning seting.

With the rapid development of digitalisation, multimedia and network-based communication technology, all walks of life are undergoing change and development driven by the application of the internet to conventional industries. Especially because of the outbreak of coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), English teaching and learning modes are undergoing revolutionary changes worldwide (Wong et al., 2020). Online courses and materials have become the norm for students, and combined with offline English learning activities, an online and offline blended learning mode has ultimately emerged (Graham, 2006; Whittaker, 2013). Whereas blended learning has been considered in several contexts, it has been less investigated in the field of blended English learning mode for the listening comprehension ability and emotional experiences of young learners of Chinese English as a foreign language (EFL) while doing the tasks. Thus, this study focussed on the achievement and experience of Chinese EFL junior high school students during blended learning using Quizlet software as the online learning tool. This study aimed to explore the following: (1) the effect of the online and offline blended mode on the learning outcomes of students and (2) the experience of students while engaging with blended tasks in terms of their learning interest, attitude, and strategy use in English listening learning. A 4-month teaching intervention involving the online and offline blended mode was conducted in English listening classes. Adopting mixed-methods qualitative and quantitative research, this study examined the engagement process of two classes of students and analysed data from their English listening tests and follow-up in-depth interviews. The results suggested that the blended activity was conducive to enhancing the listening performance of students. Moreover, the attitudes of students toward English listening learning shifted from a relatively negative engagement to a more positive one. Meanwhile, the interest of students grew and their learning strategies became more diversified. These findings have implications for English teaching and learning activity design for young learners.
