BLISS is a collaborative effort between the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Baptist University, and FlippEducatorsHK. It aims to deepen the practical exploration and innovative application of blended learning models. With its exceptional teaching efficiency and flexibility, BLISS has successfully fostered students’ self-learning abilities and sparked their interest in exploration.

BLISS provides comprehensive and extensive professional development support for teachers, including diverse training opportunities such as certificate programs and workshops, as well as professional consulting services from educational advisors. By creating a resource-rich platform with self-learning materials across a wide range of disciplines, BLISS not only enriches students’ learning options but also provides strong community support for professional exchange among teachers.

Furthermore, BLISS has developed a blended teaching skills development model through systematic literature reviews and qualitative meta-analyses. This model is structured into three tiers: principles, preparations, and strategies. It aims to assist regions, schools, and educator training institutions in planning and designing relevant professional development programs to enhance teachers’ blended teaching capabilities.

Highlighting the importance of professional development, BLISS encourages educators to transition from traditional roles as knowledge providers to designers and facilitators of learning activities, aiming to build a learning community among teachers and students. The blended teaching model encompasses pre-class, in-class, and post-class stages, integrating online and offline teaching to facilitate real-time interactions between teachers and students.

Additionally, BLISS stands out for its precise monitoring and feedback on learning progress. Through an electronic badge system, students’ learning activities are effectively tracked and incentivized. BLISS also includes note-taking and selfassessment tools that enable students to record key points and self-test throughout the learning process, thereby reinforcing their knowledge more effectively. Additionally, the adjustable video playback speed accommodates different learning paces, showcasing the platform’s user-friendly design.
