Development of an Interdisciplinary Blended Learning Module for Postgraduate Research Methodology Course

Published: 03 May 2020 Publication History

Abstract

Blended learning has emerged as one of the innovative learning methods in academic institutions around the world. At a postgraduate level, blended learning can even be considered crucial, given that many of the students are working and studying at the same time and as such require a flexible learning environment. We first present an overview of blended learning approach introduced for the Research Methodology course at College of Graduate Studies, The National Energy University, Malaysia. Next, the application of ADDIE model into this project is explained. The use of Gagne Nine Events of Instructions for the instructional design is also described. Finally, a conclusion is presented.
