In a study conducted by (Rienties, B.; Toetenel, L., 2016) entitled “The impact of learning design

on student behavior, satisfaction and performance: A cross-institutional comparison across 151

modules”, researches have pointed out the high interest of conducting study regarding the blended

learning on students and how it affects the respondents’ student behavior, satisfaction, and

performance because the data revealed that it significantly affects the variables.

The most significant finding is that learning plan exercises firmly affected scholarly maintenance.

A significant venture forward from our underlying review with 40 modules (Rienties et al.,, 2015) is that

we had the option to move past straightforward relationship examinations to various relapse

investigations, by which the study had the option to control for normal institutional examination factors

and disciplinary contrasts. The essential indicator of scholarly maintenance was the relative measure of

correspondence exercises. This might be an significant finding as specifically in internet realizing there

tends to be an attention on planning for cognizance rather than social learning exercises (Arbaugh, 2014;

Koedinger et al., 2013; Rienties et al., 2012), while as of late a few scientists have urged instructors and

analysts to zero in on the social components of learning (Arbaugh, 2014; Ferguson and Buckingham

Shum, 2012).

The second significant finding was that student fulfillment was firmly affected by learning plan.

Modules with assimilative exercises and less understudy focused methodologies like observing data

exercises got essentially higher assessment scores. Nonetheless, an essential expression of alert is set up

here. Despite the fact that we concur with others (Arbaugh, 2014; Onwuegbuzie et al., 2007; Zerihun et
al., 2012) that student fulfillment and bliss of understudies is significant, it is amazing that student

fulfillment and scholastic maintenance were not even somewhat identified with one another

Moreover, a recent important study measuring which factors predicted learner satisfaction and

academic performance amongst 48 MBA online and blended learning modules in the US, Arbaugh

(2014) found that learners' behavior, as measured by social presence, predicted learner satisfaction and

academic performance. Quite remarkably, the technological environment used in these 48 modules did

not significantly predict learners' learning experience and performance. Therefore, Arbaugh (2014, p.

352) argued that “a resource-strapped business school may get the most ‘bang for its buck’ by allocating

resources towards developing instructors when contemplating how best to support its online and

blended offerings”.

Furthermore, for an effective learning design to happen, instructors and administrators, as well

as students, should be involved in planning the learning design that will cater the needs of students to

learn the needed knowledge, may it be modular or online learning. As according to (Arbaugh, 2005),

there is an impending need for the university or school administrator to conduct similar study among

their stakeholder to implement and execute the appropriate learning design for students in terms of

what they need for learning.
