A blending approach of mobile learning and formal classroom learning is proposed and applied in the teaching of offshore engineering environment and loads. The Rain classroom developed by Tsinghua University was incorporated into the teacher‐guided classes. A smoother communication, as well as real‐time interaction between teachers and students, was achieved with the aid of mobile learning technology. The participants were juniors from Offshore Oil and Gas Engineering, a subject ranking on the list of world first‐class disciplines. The same examination was issued to both groups after the learning of offshore engineering environment and loads with and without the application of Rain classroom. Furthermore, a survey was conducted on the former group. According to the results, students experienced that the blending learning has a positive attitude toward the reformation of learning mode, and they obtained higher scores in the final examination than the control group. Further extensive studies are required to evaluate the effects of learning intensity, time duration, frequency of teacher–student interaction, and participants from different educational backgrounds.

Rain课堂在海上工程环境与载荷教学中正式课堂学习中的应用

提出了一种将移动学习和正式课堂学习相结合的方法，并将其应用于海洋工程环境和负荷的教学中。清华大学开发的Rain教室已纳入老师指导的课程。借助移动学习技术，可以实现顺畅的沟通以及师生之间的实时互动。参加者是海洋石油与天然气工程学院的大三学生，该学科位列世界一流学科之列。在学习和不使用Rain教室的情况下，在学习了海上工程环境和负载之后，两个小组都进行了相同的考试。此外，对前一组进行了调查。根据结果​​，学生体验到混合学习对学习方式的改革具有积极态度，并且他们在期末考试中的得分高于对照组。需要进一步的广泛研究来评估学习强度，持续时间，师生互动频率以及来自不同教育背景的参与者的影响。
