Learning and evaluation of blended learning approach for ICT undergraduate students

Present world is the age of computer science and information technology. Technology enhanced learning is the most promising issue of modern day. Blended learning is learning based on various combinations of classical face to face lectures, learning over the Internet, and learning supported by other technologies, aimed at creating the most efficient learning environment. To enrich the learning capabilities and interesting class lecture, only face to face or online learning is not enough. Although online learning has many apparent advantages, personalization, interactivity, immediate feedback, and online assessment, one of the major problems is poor retention of a high student dropout rate. Specially engineering education is complex for that we have proposed a blended learning approach. According to learning process, we also evaluate the student learning knowledge involving online interaction by automated exam controlling system. We attempt to find out the process to eliminate the traditional teaching and classroom environment and also propose a blended learning approach for our education system. Our proposed idea ensures students are aware of the expected nature and standards of assessable work and students can readily locate and access all resources when needed as well as readily submit material to peers or teaching team. Online website `programmers.org' for Bengali programing tutorials and `automated exam controlling system' website for evaluation of learning have been developed.
