Blended learning is the integration of traditional face-to-face learning with technology, the internet,
and distance learning. This approach is becoming pervasive in the education system in recent years.
Accordingly, the research paper examines the importance of blended learning in teaching. The
objective of the article is to show reasons for using blended learning in education and essential factors
of a successful blended course. The quality of the blended course can be enhanced by combining the
advantages of both online and in-person learning. The article also provides other factors that can help
to design a productive blended course. Overall, blended learning is an effective way of teaching that
is flexible and easy to access. Moreover, it can increase students’ motivation and their achievement of
the course.
