“…The researchers therefore believe that COVID-19 as bad as it is, brought a positive change towards implementing blended teaching and learning in higher institutions (Asarta & Schmidt, 2020;Eom, 2021). This is because the World Health Organisation (WHO) and world governments had to impose stringent methods aimed at curbing the spread of the virus, such as social distancing, which prohibited physical contact in the classroom (Megahed & Ghoneim, 2022;Karakose, 2021;Alshammari et al, 2020;Wargo, 2020). This implies that classes had to be held online (Cruz et al, 2022).…”

The study reports on implementing blended learning and teaching in the post COVID-19 era at a University in Lesotho. Research indicates that COVID-19 has necessitated the adoption of blended teaching and learning across the entire education domain. This suggests that traditional face-to-face teaching approaches were no longer appropriate due to the restrictions imposed to curb the spread of coronavirus. Therefore, online teaching and learning became the only way lecturers in higher education, most especially in the selected University, could engage with their students. Therefore, the study sought to explore the implementation of blended teaching and learning in post COVID-19 at Limkokwing University. An interpretive paradigm was adopted in this study using a qualitative approach confined within a case study, and face-to-face interviews with lecturers (n=20) were used for data collection. Latent thematic analysis was the method used for analysing the emerging themes. Findings from interviews with lecturers reveal that blended teaching and learning is essential because it fosters learner-centredness through access to a plethora of electronic resources in several digital archives. Thus, the study recommends that blended teaching and learning should be adopted as a strategy for teaching and learning in Lesotho Universities.

“…Computer image processing technology is a technological revolution carried out by art as a tool and means. It excavates personal personality and inner feeling to a greater extent for artists, and it excavates personal personality and inner emotion to a greater extent for ordinary people [2]. It lowers the threshold for art, popularises the concept of art, and organizes human beings' aesthetic sense and volition.…”

With the development of computer software technology, computer image processing software has become increasingly significant in the public art design process. It can help with graphic design inventiveness and color presentation, as well as improve the aesthetics of public art design. This study aims to analyze the use of digital image synthesis and visual sensing techniques in public art design, as well as to use Dongba paintings, which reflects Chinese culture, as image fusion research objects. The Dongba painting’s line drawing is modeled and drawn, and an element library is created. The characteristic information of Dongba paintings is extracted using line integration convolution (LIC) algorithm. The background texture elements of the image are fused using image quilting texture’s improved synthesis algorithm. To improve the image effect of the linked Dongba paintings, a local color transfer algorithm based on color transfer rights is presented. The results show that the optimized synthesis algorithm of image quilting textures can achieve the same texture synthesis effect as the original algorithm. The method can meet the needs of real-world applications while also significantly improving the original technique’s performance. The synthesis time is reduced by 87.67%, and the image recognition accuracy of the local color transfer algorithm reaches 88.9%. Compared with other algorithms, the recognition accuracy is improved by 6.4%. The proposed digital image synthesis technique can create good images with different foreground and backdrop combinations and can provide a diverse visual expression. This contributes to public art’s visual production.

“…During the 21st century, teachers are transforming the educational context with the support of technology (Salas-Rueda, 2020;Wargo, 2020;Wet, 2017). These changes are causing that students acquire a leading role during the learning process (Gonzalez et al, 2020;Kite et al, 2020;Strycker, 2020).…”

This mixed research analyzes the use of the Collaborative Wall to improve the teaching-learning conditions in the Bachelor of Visual Arts considering data science and machine learning (linear regression). The sample is made up of 46 students who took the Geometric Representation Systems course at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) during the 2019 school year. The Collaborative Wall is a web application that facilitates the organization and dissemination of ideas through the use of images and text. In the classroom, the students formed teams and used mobile devices to access this web application. The results of machine learning indicate that the organization of ideas in the Collaborative Wall positively influences the participation of students, motivation and learning process. Data science identifies 3 predictive models about the use of this web application in the educational field. Also, the Collaborative Wall facilitates the learning process in the classroom through the comparison and discussion of information. Finally, technological advances allow organizing creative activities that favor the active role of students.
