5315 Literature Review Collaboration 7/24/2022

For my campus innovation project, I am looking to implement a Blended Learning classrooms with project-based learning. Since the Blended Learning classroom involves delivery of the lecture component outside of the classroom via computer-based videos/learning materials, student engagement with the at-home component will be extremely important to the success of the implementation. This is what has formed the basis for my research question. My research question aims to find out: What impact do computer-based home lectures have on student engagement and acquisition of knowledge-level content? I am focused on knowledge-level content acquisition because students will need to have a strong understanding of basic concepts before coming to class to apply and practice the higher level thinking skills via the project-based component.

To obtain the most useful results from my action research study, I will employ some of the methods researchers have commonly found to be effective for enhancing student engagement and learning during online lecture activities. Below you will find a few of the sources that will help guide my action research activity.
