abstract = "This paper presented a case study for the foundation year subject Greenhouse Gases and Life (ABCT1D09) launched in PolyU in 2019/2020 semester one. We investigated the implementation of blended learning with outside classroom learning component and TAL pedagogies (technology-assisted laboratory classes, virtual lab and remote lab) in the traditional face-to-face (F2F) lectures with the use of institutional virtual learning environment (Blackboard LMS) to improve students{\textquoteright} learning experience by enhancing students{\textquoteright} engagement in this large GE class (90 students). Feedbacks from survey and students{\textquoteright} reflective journal (i.e. 91% of students satisfied with the designed class activities and 75% of students found the learning experience was enjoyable), as well as the students{\textquoteright} academic performance suggest this model brings positive impact to students{\textquoteright} learning. The results obtained in the present study may offer more new learning opportunities in tertiary all-round education and inform the design of “new-normal” learning after the COVID-19 pandemic.",
