It is always believed that during blended learning that the teacher should use various

technologies to facilitate the learning process, thus in fact means that these learning
processes must be active and engaging. The active engagement can be inclusive

of collaboration, social, interaction, communication, and knowledge
construction among the students, as part of the 21st-century skills required within

students.

Therefore to make acceptable active and engaging activities should be aligned to what
students need to learn, thus means that the learning objectives need to guide students

with the necessary aims and objectives of what is expected from them in the course
and what is expected from them to accomplish such activities. Secondly, there also

need to be clear instructions and expectations to provide clear guidance on the

expected outcomes. Finally, offer multiple task activities, as teachers, there should
always be the consideration of applying different types of activities as well as

assessments task that allows students to make valuable connections between what
they are learning in a module and their ecosystem as well as communities of practice.

Assessment of supplemental blended learning

During any form of learning there would be several types of assessment that would be

conducted to determine the outcomes of the different learning process. Therefore, the
appropriate assessment must be conducted to check for student depth during learning.

Looking at the current mode of online assessment many teachers normally opt for
the online/quiz test as they are meant for quick grading by the LMS. This method might

as well dilute the ultimate aim of blended learning as it is similar to that of face to face

instructional method.

Therefore, other means of assessment methods during blended learning can be

applied to create an engaging and creative environment for students to learning, apply
and construct their knowledge.
