Abstract: The principles and applications of luminescent materialsis a significant undergraduate major course that covers the fundamental principles of luminescent materials and their practical applications. This course is theoretical, comprehensive, and relevant to engineering. As a result, relying solely on traditional teaching methods poses challenges for students bridging the gap between the knowledge and practice. Additionally, it lacks hands-on experience and opportunities, which hinder a genuine understanding and mastery of the practical applications of luminescent materials. To address these issues, we propose the integration of a blended learning approach in the classroom. By combining online virtual simulations, in-person theoretical lectures, and practical laboratory sessions, students will develop a deep understanding of the link between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications. This approach aims to simulate active thinking, and enhance problem-solving skills.
