Blended learning should be involved in other subjects due to the effects in teaching science. The researchers should conducts further studies on the use of blended learning strategy in student achievement in other education’s areas and consider other variables such as sex, student’s score rate, and student’s experience in the field of the IT and internet. Also, there are many issues that affect blended learning strategy from the perspective of students and teachers and their attitudes towards it, thus, more studies should be focus on this area to improve the use of this method. This study should be the gate for other similar studies to show the impact of using blended learning strategy in other scientific materials or other levels of education.

The term blended learning is used to describe a solution that combines several different delivery methods, such as collaboration software, Web-based courses and knowledge management practices. Blended learning also is used to describe learning that mixes various event-based activities, including face—to-face classrooms, live e-learning, and self-paced learning. Unfortunately, there's no single formula that guarantees learning, Blended learning should be embedded in the overall school curricula , it’s not useful to use blended learning in isolation.

Hi Tony Yeigh , good question.

As pointed out by Chris Oliver , blended learning has many understandings and definitions, and I think the term will soon cease to be used, as it loses its meaning when both students and teachers uses these tools anyway, independent of the bein a part of a designed teaching solution or not. If we just broaden the definition of ICTs, Information and Communication Technologies in a reasonable way to include also text and books, and many ICTs in between, teaching and learning has been clearly blended at least since late medieval times.much longer if we take writing as an ICT, which there are goid resons for, and without writing we would hardly ever have come up with the idea of organised education in Sumer arnd 2500BC. The revolutionary tech of writing was the thing to teach and learn.

It makes little meaning to say that learning from a screen is e-learning or a part of blended learning, while a printed out text is some kind of old and natural learning, not e-.

What ICTs do for teaching and learning today is no big magic, it mainly decreases friction of information and makes it cheaper, faster and more accessible.. But we are entering a new phase, ICTs that processes information (which is really the thing with digital ICTs), we get learning analytics, adaptive learning and calibrated peer review, that kind of ICTs which will mean real change of teaching organisation

i have attached a couple of my texts (and co-authored texts, illustrating these perspectives If interested.
