Research on Blended Learning Mode Based on Rain Class

Abstract

Online education platform such as MOOC (massive open online course), with its rich learning resources, free learning time has been welcomed by a large number of students, but due to its untimely feedback and poor interactivity, it has led to a high dropout rate. Blended learning combines traditional education (face-to-face) with m-learning to provide learning interaction and feedback while providing a large amount of learning resources. The Rain Classroom is a WeChat-based smart teaching tool designed by Tsinghua University. It allows students to prepare before class on the mobile phone and interact with classmates and teachers during the class. This paper aims to study whether the Rain Classroom can achieve learning interaction and learning feedback, and whether learning interaction and learning feedback have a positive impact on learning satisfaction.
