Student-Centred Learning in a blended environment - case study based on a final year undergraduate course

Providing a quality education is a challenging task to both teachers and administrators in the university environment. In higher educational system, the students are supposed to gain an in-depth knowledge of subject matter in a course. Online and face-to-face education have different techniques that could be combined together in a blended environment for educating the undergraduates. The intention of this study is to identify effective ways to develop the Student-Centred Learning for students who are following courses in a blended environment. A final year course of undergraduate students was selected as a case study to carry out the investigation. The selected course was designed considering both continuous learning activities for formative assessment and individual and group work for summative assessment. According to the analysis of different data gathered together with students´ feedback, we evaluate the applicability of student-centred learning in a blended environment. This paper also justifies the importance of ICT enabled environment in teaching and learning to implement the student-centred learning.
