Implementation of the Blended Learning Approach in the Conditions of the Learning Management System of the Higher Education Institution

Abstract. Introduction. The use of technology in the teaching and learning process has led to dramatic changes in the field of higher education in recent years. The adoption of blended learning strategies in higher education learning management systems (LMS) is one of the most notable advances in this field. By combining a traditional approach with online learning resources, blended learning provides students with a dynamic and adaptive learning environment.

Purpose. The article describes the implementation of the blended learning approach in the conditions of the learning management system of a higher education institution.

Results. Integrating blended learning into a higher education institution’s learning management system (LMS) represents a transformative opportunity to improve the quality and effectiveness of education delivery. Through the use of both face-to-face learning and online learning resources, blended learning creates a dynamic and engaging environment that caters to the diverse needs and preferences of students. By incorporating digital technologies and multimedia resources into the curriculum, educators can create interactive and personalized learning programs that promote active participation and retention. This approach not only accommodates different learning styles, but also encourages independence and the development of critical thinking skills. In addition, the flexibility offered by blended learning allows students to access course materials at their convenience. Implementing blended learning in an LMS also promotes collaboration and communication between students and instructors. Online discussion forums, group projects, and virtual meetings facilitate interaction and knowledge sharing. In addition, blended learning allows instructors to use the data analytics and assessment tools available in the LMS to monitor student progress, identify areas for improvement, and provide targeted feedback. Before the implementation of the developed technology and after its completion, an experimental study was conducted, which included an analysis of the quality of knowledge. The obtained results before and after the experiment were checked using the Pearson statistical test.

Conclusions. In summary, the implementation of blended learning in the learning management system represents an advanced approach to education providing. Combining the best elements of traditional and online learning, blended learning empowers educators to create engaging, flexible, and personalized programs. A data-driven approach to teaching allows educators to adapt their instructional strategies to effectively meet the diverse needs of students.
