Research on Blended Learning Support Service Strategies of Open Universities Based on a Comprehensive Theory of Learning

Abstract

The Open University of China has adopted the blended learning mode of "online learning plus face-to-face tutoring" years before, but the learning effect has not been as satisfactory as expected mainly due to insufficient learning support services. Based on the Comprehensive Theory of Learning, i.e., "two processes" and "three dimensions", this paper provides an integrated perspective for open education, explores development strategies of learning support services, and then improves the effect of blended learning: at the early stage of blended learning, teachers should arouse learners' emotions; at the middle stage, they need help learners to learn actively; At the later period, they provide cognitive support services for learners.
