Abstract

This study explores the underlying theoretical principles that provide the basis for the design and implementation of blended learning classes. It discusses how online meetings and face-to-face sessions can be integrated in today's classrooms. Many studies and experiences have been reviewed in accordance with the preparation, implementation and evaluation of blended Learning classes. A summary of collected knowledge shows that blended learning has been favorable in today's educational environment. Most studies show that once infrastructure and technological tools are provided, many problems such as crowded classrooms and students' motivation toward learning will be settled via the utilization of Blended Learning. Moreover, the positive and comfortable Blended Learning environments will change the attitudes of students and teachers toward learning and teaching as time and place of lessons will not be a difficulty for both. However, achieving the benefits of Blended Learning models will not yield their fruits unless reviewing matters of training, planning and legislation are done.

Highlights

  • Computers' Greater interactivity, graphics, sound and video have affected nearly every aspect of our life

  • Does Blended Learning environment encourage learners to socially interact with colleagues and teachers, but it provides them with time and location flexibility that is not possible in face-to-face education (Eryilmaz, 2015)

  • In the developing countries it is still new and education regimes have not completely accredited it in their institutions because of some reasons among which is the lack of technology experts, insufficient infrastructure and the educational environment

Summary

Introduction

Computers' Greater interactivity, graphics, sound and video have affected nearly every aspect of our life. Students will accept this kind of learning, once they feel that they learn and achieve more effectively and feel that they are wellengaged in their classes (Bidder, Mogindol, Saibin, Andrew, & Naharu, 2016) To say it differently, its flexibility permits individual institutions and collaborative groups to tailor the concept to maximize its potential while being responsive to a new generation of students. Its flexibility permits individual institutions and collaborative groups to tailor the concept to maximize its potential while being responsive to a new generation of students It can increase opportunities for faculty members to design more effective teaching and learning environments. Traditional strategies are no longer beneficial in empowering learners to master the most urgent skills of the 21st century They have failed to meet the individual needs of all students in the class basically due to improper pupil teacher ratio. The dissemination of Covid-19 pandemic, in the last two years, has proved that such institutions should have alternatives for their traditional and face-to-face educational strategies. it has been a must for them all, all over the world, to vary their teaching and learning strategies and try to use Blended Learning as one form of these alternatives and new learning approaches
