It establishes a four-dimensional integrated blended teaching ecosystem, i.e., knowledge-point objectives, learning resources, teaching activities, and monitoring and assessment. Relying upon local characteristic resources, such as Southern Shandong red-themed culture, Great Canal culture, Ban-Mo culture, rural revitalization pomegranate industry, etc., the transformation of theories can be concretely realized.Local university, Foreign language major, Three Integrations, Blended teaching, Textbook series Understanding Contemporary China, Southern Shandong local resources
