Research of the blog platform-assisted collaborative learning model in the teaching of 'micro-controller principles and applications'

‘Micro-controller principles and applications’ is a significantly important course to be taken by an optoelectronic information science and engineering major. The course is both comprehensive and practical. The main aim of the course is to enhance students’ learning initiative and their ability to apply a micro-controller. This article discusses the new methodology found in the curriculum’s design, implementation and evaluation. The new teaching method employs a collaborative learning model assisted by a blog platform, which is not only conducive to strengthening the teacher’s leading role and promoting the ability of students to self-teach, but this method also encourages and develops the students’ spirit of teamwork and improves their overall ability to learn.
