Antecedents and Pitfalls of Blended Learning for a Cogent Group of Students Post COVID-19

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of blended learning in Tripura by observing undergraduate students across the state. Based on statistical tests such as X2, and one-way ANOVA, post-hoc Tukey's HSD, a considerable number of students consider blended learning an essential part of the curriculum. The usability response to online learning tools and resources demonstrates a strong correlation between usability variables. The results also suggest that students react favorably to online learning tools and materials, which are preferred over face-to-face interactions for storing, accessing, and retrieving information. Blending has proved effective at minimizing learning losses, but the amount of technological support required for its implementation has implications for available resources and societal needs.
