This article (14 page PDF) discusses the shortcomings in the use of traditional pedagogies in teaching the mandatory Literature Course in China and examines a new approach based on online and offline (O2O) integration. O2O is an "iterative project-based teaching model is mainly the iteration of online and offline activities... the chief teaching principle is to cultivate learners'ability to solve problems through explanation, question asking, exhibition and operation for different knowledge and principles." The latter part of the paper looks at the effectiveness of the process (control and experimental groups just over 100 each) and interestingly measures teacher effectiveness as well as student initiative and interest ratings to identify the impact of the technique itself.
