| description | The purpose of this study was to apply the Kirkpatrick four-level model (reaction, learning, behavior, result) to evaluate the learning effectiveness of those students who studied the general education digital materials of “Information Law” in a blended learning environment. The study used a mixed-method approach, including a mainly quantitative online questionnaire, followed by semi-structured interviews. The results demonstrated that the students had a high overall satisfaction towards the course (reaction level), positive learning outcomes (learning level), and a positive behavior transfer after learning, which could occur either immediately or after a period of time (behavior level). The students had high efficiency and a positive contribution to their organizations and the information society after learning information law (result level). Based on the Kirkpatrick model, the results provided favorable evidence for the students’ learning effectiveness and the course’s value. |
