EasyChair Preprint 9103

Abstract

Higher education in Mauritius is undergoing major curricular changes. To cope with these changes and to reach a wider and more diversified public, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools like customized teaching, online learning and virtual campus. Online learning platforms widely adopted by Université des Mascareignes (UdM) offer learners and teachers hybrid education - blended learning, referred to as technology-mediated instruction. Hybrid learning mixes online educational resources and online engagement with traditional classroom techniques. When hybridizing courses, the pedagogical and technical teaching methods are reconsidered. This article examines the application of the Hy-Sup Model, a hybrid system with an Ecosystem typology capable of supporting reusable lifelong learning and facilitating decision-making by concerned parties at different levels. The Hy-Sup model based on a goal-oriented approach has the objective to provide with the Ecosystem typology a method to design, implement, analyse, evaluate and improve such systems.

Keyphrases: Ecosystem typology, Hy-Sup Model, Pedagogical teaching method., blended learning, hybrid education, online learning
