Abstract: The study improves upon the BOPPPS teaching model and constructs a“nested”BOPPPS model in the context of building New Liberal Arts. This new model, on the one hand, takes advantage of BOPPPS model’s focus on classroom interactions, and on the other, adds BOPPPS components to online segments before and after the class through the use of technology, creating a“nested”design in terms of structure with the use of blended learning methods. By implementing the model in 3D animation software basics course, the students’performance is much enhanced, and the innovative application of BOPPPS teaching model in the discipline of design is explored.

Key words: New Liberal Arts construction, BOPPPS model, Teaching model innovation, Blended teaching, “Nested”design, Design discipline
