The developments in internet technology have caused instructional strategies and tools to changerapidly. As a result, the application of blendedlearning in education has received increased attention from scholars. Blended learning not only combines online and traditional face-to-face learningbut also transcends the limitations of time and space. Blended learning combines the advantages of internet learning with traditional face-to-face interaction and cooperative learning [1]. The application and development of blended learning in the domain
of engineering education is quite feasible and deserves further exploration.According to the 2010–2011 Global Competitiveness Report, released by the World Economic Forum (WEF), Taiwan’s competitiveness ranking advanced to thirteenth in the world in 2010 [2].Taiwan’s rise in the rankings was largely due to the WEF’s belief that the nation’s economic development had evolved into an innovation-orientedsystem. As a result, Taiwan received high ratings on the indicators related to innovation. Thus, knowledge management and product innovation education at university level are clearly significant issues. If creative thinking instructions are applied to the engineering education system in Taiwan, the country will benefit from the advancement of engineering knowledge, the development of technology, and theimprovement and innovation of products. For this reason, instructional strategies, processes, and accomplishments deserve in-depth exploration andresearch.This study uses the blended learning method in the TRIZ (Teoriya Resheniya IzobretatelskikhZadatch) model to design the education system, as this model is effective at using information technology to enhance the effects of creative learning. This study has two purposes:(1) To develop a model and a framework for theblended TRIZ creative learning system.
(2) To construct an internet platform for the
blended TRIZ creative learning system.
