2. Technology has led to the drastic changes
in almost aspect of life, including
education
Technology in education
◦ It can improve teaching and learning
◦ Digital technology has intersected computer
and instructional elements and traditional
learning practices ( face to face learning)
◦ The most important outcome of the integration
between technology and education is “e-
learning”
3. In education, technology is quite familiar
because the use of computer technology such
as e-learning opens the posssibility of a long
learning process with the various types.
E-learning has grown and expanded
exponentially in the tradional learning (face
to face) that has been running about a
century.
4. Hopper (2003) states blended classes have been
proved more effective than full on-line classes,
because it is able to create positive collaboration
between direct (face to face) and on-line
environment.
Dziuban, Hartman, and moskal (2004) highlights the
positive learning outcomes of integrating traditional
learning (face to face) and on-line instruction.
Garrison and Kanuta (2004) says that blended
learning has the power to promote profound
learning.
Stacey and Gerbic (2008), the advantages of blended
learning have been guaranteed in a prime position in
higher education

6. Blended Learning is an approach to learning and
teaching which combines and aligns learning
undertaken in face to face sessions with learning
opportunities created online (University of
Wolverhampton, 2010).
Blended Learning is new type of learning
activities challenging our thinking as how
learning might be facilitated, creating new
etiquettes of learning and teaching, and shifting
the focus of control from the teacher to the
learner (Littlejohn and Pegler, 2006,p4).
7. A Blended Learning approach combines face-
to-face classroom methods with computer -
mediated activities to form an integrated
instructional approach (Pensylvania State
University, 2009).
The integrated combination of traditional
learning with web-based online approaches
(Whitelock and Jelts (2003).
8. Activity level; face-to-face activity than
followed up by on-line activity
Class level; combination of some face-to-
face and some on-line courses.
Program level; apply face-to-face and on-line
class to higher education to get degree.
Institutional level; apply face-to-face at the
beginning and on-line activity at the end of
the class.
9. Some reasons;
Because the aim of blended learning is to
intersect best aspects of face-to-face with
on-line learning.
Due to the developing critical thinking and
the need of students’ satisfaction (Owson
2006).
Graham (2006,6) states that Blended learning
integrates the best things of both world
(face-to-face and on-line).
10. Graham, Allen, and Ure (2005) state the
common reasons to choose blended learning;
Improving education; interactive and effective
learning experience.
Improving access and flexibility;
Cost efficiency
11. From the definitions above Blended Learning
is an approach that combines, integrates, or
mixes traditional, face-to-face activities with
computer-mediated activities, or on-line
learning activities in order to make the
teaching and learning activities more
effective, efficient, and flexible.
