Abstract

Model of active and collaborative learning applied in training specific subject makes clear advantage due to the goals of knowledge, skills that students got to develop successful future job. The author exploits the learning management system of Hanoi National University of Education to establish a learning environment in the Introductory Physics course Part 2, which supports to the blended learning, for the 1st year student. The method of pattern languages is taken to redesign learning content in the framework of ACLM, which focused on analysing real-life application and doing exercises, with the support of information and communication technology. Both formative and summative assessments were used to evaluate competency of students.
