This is presentation for a proposal of a new blended Learning Model, the Collaborative Blended Learning Model The Collaborative Blended Learning model (CBLM) refers to web2quest collaborative projects that take place less in class (F2F) but mostly online out of class, supported by (a)synchronous web 2.0 technologies combining at the same time collaborative learning with self paced learning.This learning model aims to be implemented in the context of HRM.

around the core ideas of the WQ
project
Webquest methodology
Web2Quest methodology
CBLModel

for instruction. Technology is not
(Kajder 2003, pedagogy, neither a
mean of pedagogy, but
2004) just a way of delivering

quality resource links, compelling problems, production templates

12. Types of WebQuest
 ShortTerm
WebQuests
1-3 lessons
 knowledge acquisition &
integration
 Longer Term
WebQuest
a week – a month
 analyze & transform
knowledge into

based software/services, companies
supplying platforms not content
• Slow speed internet access//high speed
internet access
• Pc// New hardware mlearning devices
bandwidth-ubiquitous

17. Web1Quests Web2Quests

core elements
 Motivation (Keller‟s ARC model) intrinsic motivation
(Ryan&Deci (2000) Self Determination Theory)
