During the pandemic, the number of inquiries increased considerably because of the university-wide shift to online courses. This not only caused frustration for students but also increased the burden on teachers to respond to these inquiries. Our data indicated the need to envision different approaches to handling inquiries because the causes of the inquiries before and during the pandemic varied considerably. Based on the results of the Pareto analysis, we devised a set of measures focusing on the four causes of inquiries: (1) missing or misunderstanding teacher instructions, (2) applications and reports for retaking tests, (3) reporting problems or asking questions on the operation of information and communications technology (ICT), and (4) wrong choices of contact points.","PeriodicalId":153555,"journal":{"name":"Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126143290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AR applications and activities have not yet been reviewed in their entirety. Lecturers need to take full advantage of AR. The critical questions of this study include whether university lecturers are ready to use AR to drive and complement their teaching and social and cognitive presence with online and hybrid or blended learning, as well as the challenges of AR in teaching and learning. The structure is based on a broad literature review, and the presentation is domesticated. First, COVID-19 and higher education background and associated crisis response and management are discussed. Then the existing challenges of online and blended learning are outlined. AR and associated projections are unpacked, followed by an illumination of AR teaching and activities and challenges. A review of existing literature frames a high fragmentation among various tools, software, and AR apps, leading to increased complexity for adapting the systems to teaching and learning. The discussion illuminates the shortcomings of AR. There is a need for a well-thought-out approach to integrating AR apps into online and blended learning in higher education, addressing stakeholder needs, diversity, and inclusion and expanding a critical discussion on transformative AR teaching and learning. This article outlines the associations between subsets of this body of work on AR activities in teaching and learning in higher education and highlights existing challenges for a multidisciplinary higher education community.","PeriodicalId":153555,"journal":{"name":"Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126197776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, success in a traditional environment does not necessarily guarantee success in the “blearning” environment. Moreover, regulatory authorities such as Office for Students in the United Kingdom have set up student protection plans to ensure that the student continues to benefit from a fulfilling learning experience when there is a change in operation, such as the digital shift in teaching. This article presents a new practical model called the practical (blended) teaching and “blearning” method (PTBM) and discusses the ingredients necessary to ensure that the transition to “blearning” does not affect satisfaction among learners and tutors negatively. It also defines “blearning” to establish it as an integrated process so that it is no longer presented as a mixed or hybrid model. The model, based on a comprehensive literature review and compilation of best practices, attempts to address various challenges of blended learning identified by researchers. It aims to enhance the learning experience so that learners feel independent but not isolated.","PeriodicalId":153555,"journal":{"name":"Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114502093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
