Abstract—Due to the rapid development of information technology, traditional classroom teaching is not able to meet the needs of students. Therefore, colleges and universities are paying more and more attention to cultivating students’ individuality and comprehensive quality. The “student-centered, teacher-led” online and offline hybrid teaching mode emerged as the times require, and has become a new teaching method, which has gradually become the focus of attention of colleges and universities. In the teaching practices of colleges and universities, blended instruction has made some progress, but issues with instruction quality also arise. Upon review of the relevant literature and interviews with teachers and students, this study determined that outmoded teaching practices, lack of awareness of students’ independent learning, and absence of external conditions in colleges and universities are the most influential factors affecting the quality of mixed teaching. Based on these, corresponding measures are proposed from the perspectives of teachers, students, and schools to aid the development of blended teaching in colleges and universities and improve its effects. Teachers should continuously improve their hybrid teaching skills and ensure quality. Moreover, students should improve their sense of participation in teaching activities and develop a consciousness of independent learning. Finally, the school should improve the support structure to implement blended teaching seamlessly.
