The academic performance levels of students are determined before and after the intervention in a high school in accordance with an instructional design prepared to support students in and out of school hours. Data were analyzed by using descriptive analyses techniques. The results of the study are discussed considering the significant difference in students’ academic performance after the intervention. It can be concluded that there are possible advantages of integrating a Web 2.0 tool in blended learning contexts.
