This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.

With the advancements in communications technology brought about by the advent of the Internet and World Wide Web, attention has been drawn to Open and Distance Learning (ODL) as a mode for teaching and learning. In Malaysia, the establishment of ODL universities such as Open University Malaysia (OUM) has expanded the role of ICT in learning and knowledge generation. By leveraging on Internet technology, ODL universities are able to transmit education across the country and even globally. ODL sets about making quality e-learning and e-content more accessible to both facilitators and learners. Utilising this method, new opportunities are continuously created to make higher education more accessible to those who seek to improve and upgrade themselves. This paper examines OUM's practice of using the innovative technology of online learning and teaching to make higher education easily accessible to those that seek it. With greater advancements in technology, the future of higher education may lie more with ODL than with traditional face-to-face learning.

The Learning Management System (LMS) is a core system that contributes to support e-learning, managing content, provide learning tools, and facilitate communication between students and teachers. This project aims to measure the impact of Blackboard-based e-learning use. We measure the effect of blackboard use on male students by comparing male and female students ’degrees of online learning (online class preparation) and traditional (face-to-face) learning at Qassim University, using statistical methods and data mining algorithms. We also develop A supportive tool that helps teachers manage some important tasks such as (student attendance, interaction, grades ... etc.). This tool will take student information and push automatic notifications to all concerned people via SMS.

Due to the national state of emergency, the restriction of mobility and the adoption of teleworking are established to fulfill the activities. The Higher Institutes take on the challenge of changing face-to-face classes to remote courses through virtual platforms. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of ICTs and emergency remote teaching in technical and technological education. Data was collected from 140 students from 2 institutes in the city of Ambato. The impact of online courses and the use of technological tools was investigated. As a result, the students of the technological careers consider this new modality of receiving classes a learning opportunity, despite the connectivity problems that occurred in the homes, they consider that the contribution of ICTs and remote teaching as part of education distance learning is important in their professional training.
