Abstract

The global outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 has turned a new exercise ” Ape-like Fixed-point Super Jogging ” that was originally in the physical world into an online one. In order to understand the effectiveness of the Jogging, this study adopts a Mixed-method Methodology to analyze the effectiveness of MOOCs like courses on YouTube and the two-way Line based community to assist online practice learning. The research subjects are 30 participants who completed the 100-day foundation building program within six months. The results of the quantitative and qualitative cross-comparison analysis show that this group of participants could achieve physical and mental improvement through technology-mediated blended learning in the midst of the pandemic. We hope the emerging blended learning method will reduce the burden of long-term health care in an aging society in Taiwan and improve the quality of life as well in the future.
