title = "The use of virtual classroom in library and information management courses",
abstract = "As an effective tool to support blended learning, virtual classroom provides a virtual learning environment that allows instructors and learners to interact with each other anywhere. In this paper, we review the use of virtual classroom in library and information management courses, which are typically informative courses, in our institution. A survey is conducted to investigate the students' general views on virtual classroom and their perception of blended learning. The results show that most of the students supported virtual classroom as it made them feel more connected to the course and helped them to study more efficiently. They generally considered virtual classroom as a crucial extension of the traditional classroom to enhance interaction and participation. The results also show the students welcome the blended mode of learning.",
