Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Sri Lankan state universities promoted e-learning, increasing demand for courses like Literature Surveys. Academics proposed a 15-h blended mode course methodology involving content delivery, assessment marking, and session plan evaluations with well-defined rubrics. The procedure was tested, revealing the achievement of most intended learning outcomes (ILOs). The proposed teaching method, combined with applications and web resources through this study, was recommended for its effectiveness in achieving learning outcomes.
