Master's thesis of Education: Students' expectations and experiences of blended learning: a case study at Hanoi Open University, Vietnam

This study investigates students’ expectations and experiences of blended learning at Hanoi Open University, Vietnam. In recent years, the Vietnamese government has produced a number of polices advocating the use of ICT in education, including blended learning, aligning this implementation with its goals to modernise. While there has been considerable research around blended learning in higher education in the west, including in the USA, UK and Australia, research in Vietnam is relatively new. Previous research has suggested that while there is some debate around defining blended learning, there are numerous benefits and limitations. This study aims to add to this research, by exploring blended learning in the Vietnamese context.
