摘要

Agile-blended learning (ABL) refers to a dynamic integration of Agile methodologies and blended learning practices, offering a technology-driven, learner-centered approach that emphasizes flexibility, learner autonomy, collaboration, and technology mediation. With the growing need for adaptable and effective educational strategies, ABL is introduced as an innovative model to meet the evolving needs of contemporary learners. However, the successful implementation of ABL requires institutions to address critical readiness factors, including leadership vision, faculty training, technological infrastructure, institutional culture, and student preparedness. This paper examines these dimensions of institutional readiness by synthesizing insights from Agile education literature, blended learning research, and organizational change theory. A framework for assessing readiness is proposed alongside strategies to mitigate common implementation challenges. Understanding, addressing, and promoting the above considerations can help institutions establish a sustainable foundation for ABL adoption, fostering innovation and student engagement.
