The paper explores current learning approaches. The authors present the Trigger-Based Discussion-Oriented Continuous learning model (TbDoC) that focuses on creating a continuous learning experience over the online and off-line (on-campus) learning environments. The model aims to create a more engaging learning environment that encourages discussion and increases the ability of students to be independent learners. The proposed learning model utilizes an adapted version of the Hook model, the simplification aspect of the Fogg behavior model, and a socio-educational approach to learning. The model starts with the lecturer sending the students an email on the night prior to the lecture. The email contains a set of questions related to the lecture material. The students are prompted to search for answers to the questions and in doing so they are preparing for the lecture. On the next day during the lecture, the lecturer begins to direct the student-to-lecturer discussion. The lecture material is fully uncovered by the students with the help of the lecturer through the discussion. The qualitative behaviour observations showed positive impact of the model on the students and the learning environment. It was observed that students became more independent learners and were more motivated to engage in the discussions. [For the full proceedings, see ED636095.]
