Application of Component Organized Learning Method for DIGSCM 4.0 Hybrid Courses

Higher education as the education whole faced an unprecedented challenge last year. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational process had to change rapidly. The need for redesign and renovation was obvious already before the crisis driven by the pandemic started. As all other methods have become more personalised, education had to follow. In the current paper, the authors will solve the efficient delivery of know-how and skills requested by developing Component Organised Learning components that can be applied in different courses. The required solution should find a way to use the COL concept to avoid the repetition of materials and excessive work of collaborative HEI-is. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Component Organised Learning Method for Digital Supply Chain Hybrid Courses

Higher education as the education in whole faced an unprecedented challenge last year. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the educational process had to change rapidly. The need for redesign and renovation was obvious already before the crisis driven by the pandemic started. As all other methods have become more and more personalised, education had to follow. The crisis with the shutdowns caused by the demand to avoid personal contacts ended the traditional teaching way. The educators had to reorganise the educational process to enable teaching and learning without personal contacts like the conventional face-to-face contact learning method has been known for a long time. New learning methods suitable for using Information and Communication Technology’s (ICT) capabilities need an architecture different from those used earlier. All e-environments used earlier were supporting the teaching process and course itself. As the pandemic is predicted to have a continuous impact on all activities, education will only partially return to traditional methods. The education needs to follow the changed way of working and to allow learning and teaching from a distance. The objective of the research is to apply the Component Organised Learning (COL) concept to design courses based on the current requirements of companies. Suggested architecture simplifies the realigning of courses by developing new and reuse of existing COL-s. The authors’ findings confirmed that the certain COL can be reused for different courses design. The suggested COL approach also simplified the remote teaching of the courses internationally and improved the integration between related curriculums. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
