A Guideline for the Development of Blended Learning Platform Based on the Observation of Students' Reaction in a Virtual World

This research focuses on the importance of the instructor in a virtual learning environment for the purpose of blended learning. To assess the instructor's involvement, the Community of Inquiry (COI) framework was used. The students were observed throughout the experiments. The results were gathered and analysed. The findings produce a beneficial guideline to conduct a learning session in the virtual world that could be used by other developers who wish to develop similar platform.
