Abstract

The effective implementation of information and communications technologies (ICTs) in higher education is not guaranteed without serious and rigorous pedagogical reflection. It is essential to maintain an ongoing debate on the effectiveness of the learning process. A debate accelerated by the impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the growing role of virtual and remote learning in universities worldwide. This research aims to overcome the quantitative approach of previous work with qualitative evidence to contribute to the field knowledge. The designed case study is based on a Moodle teaching experience in communication studies at a Spanish university. This innovative methodology is developed within a hybrid teaching ecosystem (blended learning) with the support of a virtual platform (Aula Virtual). The sample analysed is composed of 77 students enrolled in the subject ‘Television Journalism’. The design of an original and novel data collection instrument has supplied various quantitative and qualitative data. The triangulation of four data collection techniques has provided a demographic profile, an activity report, a grading report and a satisfaction report. The findings suggest a high degree of student satisfaction, with the experience and a significant improvement in students’ television writing skills, thanks to the implementation of Moodle.

新冠肺炎时代的教学创新体验——以穆德尔电视新闻课程混合学习为例

如果没有认真和严格的教学反思，就无法保证在高等教育中有效实施信息和通信技术。对学习过程的有效性保持持续的辩论是至关重要的。新冠肺炎危机的影响以及虚拟和远程学习在全球大学中日益增长的作用加速了这场辩论。本研究旨在克服以往工作中使用定性证据的定量方法，为领域知识做出贡献。设计的案例研究基于Moodle在西班牙一所大学的沟通研究教学经验。这种创新方法是在虚拟平台（Aula virtual）的支持下，在混合教学生态系统（混合学习）中开发的。所分析的样本由77名“电视新闻”专业的学生组成。一种新颖新颖的数据采集仪器的设计提供了各种定量和定性数据。四种数据收集技术的三角测量提供了人口概况、活动报告、评分报告和满意度报告。研究结果表明，由于Moodle的实施，学生对这段经历的满意度很高，学生的电视写作技能也有了显著提高。

期刊介绍： Asia Pacific Media Educator is an international refereed journal published twice a year by SAGE Publications (New Delhi) in collaboration with the School of the Arts, English and Media, Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong in Australia. The journal follows international norms and procedures of blind peer reviewing by scholars representing a wide range of multi-disciplinary areas. APME focuses on generating discussions and dialogues among media educators, researchers and journalists. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer review. APME also carries a Q&A section with book authors. APME takes conventional book reviews to a more creative level where reviewers directly engage with authors to understand the process that authors take in researching and writing the book, clarify their assumptions and pose critical questions.
