“…According to him, overreliance on early adopters is one of the reasons HEIs fail to produce the enabling environment for a wider technology uptake at an institutional level. An institutional level vision, direction and energy is required for a successful strategic transition (Taylor and Newton 2013). Khan's (2005) octagonal framework introduced eight dimensions in relation to the design, delivery, implementation and evaluation of e-learning: pedagogical, technological, interface design, evaluation, management, resource support, ethical and institutional.…”

“…Effective Pedagogy underpinning the use of technology to enhance student learning outcomes is essential (Porter et al 2014). According to Taylor and Newton (2013), this requires upskilling staff and students in relation to digital literacies. The importance of having clear communication with students to manage expectations around blended learning is also emphasised, including clarity around the roles of learners and teachers (Garrison and Vaughan 2013;Porter et al 2014;Quinn et al 2012).…”

“…In relation to learning technology support, Moskal, Dziuban, and Hartman (2013) highlighted the need for mid-level organisational capacity enabled by the recruitment of staff with expertise in learning technology and academic staff development, including instructional designers. Taylor and Newton (2013) advise clarity around the complementary roles of support staff to avoid confusion. Our study additionally identifies the need for distributed support within a coordinated hub-and-spoke model.…”

The rapidly changing digital landscape is having a significant influence on learning and teaching. Our study assesses the response of one higher education institution (HEI) to the changing digital landscape and its transition into enhanced blended learning, which seeks to go beyond the early implementation stage to make the most effective use of online learning technologies to enhance the student experience and student learning outcomes. Evidence from a qualitative study comprising 20 semi-structured interviews, informed by a literature review, has resulted in the development of a holistic framework to guide HEIs transitioning into enhanced blended learning. The proposed framework addresses questions relating to the why (change agents), what (institutional considerations), how (organisational preparedness) and who (stakeholders) of transitions into enhanced blended learning. The involvement of all stakeholder groups is essential to a successful institutional transition into enhanced blended learning.

“…Holley and Oliver [55] developed a model through cross case analysis of students' learning experiences at a post-1992 University. Taylor & Newton [56] provided a case study of an Australian regional university that investigated institutional processes and teaching and learning approaches that would facilitate diverse students' equitable access to learning. Moskal, et al [57] used the evolution of blended learning at the University of Central Florida as a model and illustrated that with proper support and planning, blended learning can result in positive institutional transformation.…”

Abstract-Blended learning is getting popular nowadays. Even though many studies have been conducted on online learning, studies specifically on blended learning are still scarce. This paper reports on a systematic literature review about blended learning of 103 journal research articles. The purpose of the review is to explore the status of blended learning research, and identify their themes and categories according to their contents. Twelve themes are identified of the articles examined in this paper. Findings showed that these researches mainly belong to six categories: design, strategy, factors, evaluation, methodology and review. Researches in each category are discussed in this paper. Future directions for research are discussed.

“…The implementation of the web application makes use of the b-learning (Bartolomé, 2004;Bersin, 2004;Bonk & Graham, 2005;Taylor & Newton, 2012;Turpo, 2010) and the teaching model of blended learning, which includes the advantages of model distance. Also, it takes advantage of the importance of the group, the pace of learning, and the direct contact with the teacher's classroom teaching (Heinze & Procter, 2004;Heinze et al, 2007;Silva-Peña et al, 2014).…”

In this paper, we discussed the main aspects of the various development carried out on the subject of "Operating systems" and "Evaluation systems of data processing" for the degree course in information systems of the FaCENA from the UNNE. Here, emphasis was placed on various algorithms for the analysis of performance in calculation systems. The motivation for the realization of this work is based on the fact that students often encounter difficulties in identifying the formula that should be used in each of the statements of the practical exercises during performance analysis. The proposal aims to provide students with a tool to complement the developed in class. It was a web application designed to encourage the process of teaching -learning, based on an applet that acts as a container in using different interfaces. Each one of them represents the execution of a method of evaluation of performance, including the law of Amdhal, performance, improvement, comparative analysis, operational analysis, workload characterization, and capacity planning. In addition, a web application that allows the self-assessment of student in achieving learning outcomes was developed. The implementation of web application, however, makes use of the b-learning, model of teaching and learning combined, that collects the advantages of the model to distance. It also takes advantage of the importance of the group, the rhythm of learning, and the direct contact with the Professor.Keywords: Operating systems, performance assessment, modeling for analysis of performance, simulation, systems of computations European Scientific Journal January 2017 edition vol.13, No.3 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857 19 IntroductionIn this work, we commented on the main aspects of development carried out on the subject of "Operating systems" and "Evaluation systems of data processing" for the degree course in information systems of the FaCENA from the UNNE. Here, emphasis was placed on various algorithms for the analysis of performance in calculation systems. It should be noted that the staged development is available to other subjects and other universities.In the above-mentioned subjects, it has been detected that there are difficulties students experience in order to identify the formula that should be used in each of the statements of the practical exercises on performance analysis. Therefore, the proposal aims to provide students with a tool to complement the developed in class and the material provided by the university chair.It has been made a web application that was designed to encourage the process of teaching -learning, based on an applet that acts as a container for use in different interfaces. Each one of them represents the execution of a method of evaluation of performance, including law of Amdhal, performance, improvement, comparative analysis, operational analysis, workload characterization, and capacity planning (Molero et al., 2004;Puigjaner et al., 1995).In addition, a web application that allows the student to self-assess th...
