Research on blended teaching model in the teaching of 'micro-controller principles and applications'

Blended teaching model combines the advantages of traditional face-to-face teaching mode and web-based online teaching mode. It is an important research aspect of college teaching reform at present. The course of 'micro-controller principles and applications' is significantly important to be taken by the optoelectronic information science and engineering major. The course is both comprehensive and practical. The main aim of the course is to enhance students' learning initiative and the ability to apply the micro-controller. The paper discusses the method of applying blended teaching model into this course, and builds a 'Project based-learning, Collaborative learning, Flipped-classroom, Innovative Practice' four-in-one blended teaching model. This paper describes the design, implementation and results of the model, showing the benefits of these new teaching methods, which can improve student's motivation and enhance students' learning initiative and their ability to apply the micro-controller.
