IMPLEMENTATION
In this project, we adapted innovative pedagogies, which are problem-based learning, problem-solving, scenario-based learning, case-based learning, reflective learning, social collaborative learning, flipped classroom, heutagogy, peeragogy, and cybergogy in developing immersive blended learning activities for students learning computer-based courses.
​
The learning activities integrate the principles of innovative pedagogies that suitable to be delivered either through LMS, Flipgrid, Facebook, Blog or Mobile Apps. In term of designing the learning activities, this project is considered original when we combined these two elements; principles of innovative pedagogies with online learning tools capabilities, specifically for learning computer-based courses at HiEd.
​
The implementations of 21st century innovative pedagogies have started since 1995 and then slowly developed and transformed accordingly based on the development of technology-based learning and teaching tools. Figure 1 shows the implementation of innovative pedagogies and tools.

Figure 2 shows the implementation of Innovative Pedagogies and Tools across courses:

The implementation of innovative pedagogies through technological tools involves the following courses:
1. SPT 4342: CD-ROM-based Multimedia Development
2. SPM 2332: Authoring Language
3. SPPM 2342: Information Management in Education
4. MPT 1193/MPPP 1223: Authoring System
5. MPPP 1213: Technology & Media Design
6. MPPP 1373: Visual Technology Production
​
This development of this project is based on following phases:
​
1. Analysis
User's need analysis and course's content analysis have been conducted prior of the development of learning activities to meet the prospective users. Through this process, several factors will be identified, which are:
• The background of the students (computer skills, prior knowledge of subject matter)
• Problems faced by students in previous semester (from CAR's document)
• The suitable type of innovative pedagogies that suitable for delivering the course's content.
• The suitable type of technological tools that suitable for the chosen innovative pedagogies.
2. Design & Development
In design and development phases, learning activities have been developed across the course's content embedded with the examples and settings of the application of the content in the real life. The principles of chosen innovative pedagogies have been implemented in the learning activities.
Next the learning activities have been transferred into the development phase where they will be delivered through the chosen type of technological tools; blog, LMS or apps etc. Besides that, the immersive blended learning environment also has been setup based on the capabilities of the chosen type of technological tools.
​
3. Implementation
For implementation phase, we innovate immersive blended learning cycle to make sure the learning process will be conducted systematically. Figure 3 shows the learning cycle.
