Exploring a Blended Teaching Model for General Education Courses in Higher Education Based on Smart Classrooms

Abstract

General education courses play a vital role in the curriculum of higher education institutions. With the advancement of information and network technology, the implementation of smart classrooms has breathed new life into undergraduate general education courses. These smart classrooms employ digital tools to create a student-centered, teacher-guided blended learning environment. This environment combines offline instruction, practical training, self-directed learning, and online education, resulting in a more scientific approach to teaching, management, and evaluation. This blended model enhances students’ engagement, encourages active learning, and improves the effectiveness of general education courses. It also ensures timely delivery of teaching and supports the holistic development of students. By deeply integrating computer technology with undergraduate general education, this innovative approach aims to provide valuable insights for the reform of higher education in Chinese universities.
