HIGHLIGHT

The purpose of this innovation is to increase student engagement experiences in a blended-cooperative learning environment (BCLE) for chemical engineering process simulation course. Getting students engagement in a hands-on engineering class involves not only the exact and suitable pedagogical knowledge but also technological knowledge on top of the content knowledge. In this learning environment, students are encouraged to participate in routine chemical engineering process simulation activities, helps them for constructing their process simulation knowledge based on cooperative learning (CL) activities with the help of several Learning Management System (LMS) and process simulation software. The application of Moodle for asynchronous CL activities delivery as well as OpenLearning for a micro-credential implementation of process simulation introductory course using Aspen HYSYS, combined together with the face-to-face CL classes has enriched student learning experiences. This can be observed by the higher value of active index in Moodle as well as higher CLO achievement. In addition, students learning behaviour also shows positive changes from independently individual practice into interdependently cooperative practices that confidently encouraged team-working principle. Therefore, it can be concluded that students’ meaningful learning experiences by exposing them to BCLE able to improve not only students’ achievement in CLO but also their learning experiences.
