Blended Learning is a flexible learning model that combines the creative advances and technology of online learning with the interaction and engagement of face-to-face learning. One of the best ways to deal with the need for \"learning anywhere, learning anytime, learning everything, learning flexibly, learning openly and learning for the whole life\", which becomes an inevitable trend currently. This requires teachers to design a course and organize the teaching process to ensure the formation and development of learners’ self-learning ability as well as the cultivation of the skills in using and mastering technology. The paper outlines the steps to be taken to design a blended learning course to help teachers in the course design suitable for their teaching process at university meeting the fourth industrial revolution.

The industrial revolution is all life activies using teknology, including in educational institutions that have to improvise learning model. Learning is a process of imitating the example of educators in teaching students' knowledge, attitudes and skills.Lecturers are educators who have the authority to change the way of thinking and how to act towards the development of superior character, so lecturers need competency in the learning model.The learning model requires direct interaction so that the process of seeding values, culture and language manners occurs correctly.This model can be called an offline-based learning process. Offline learning has limited access to reference sources from websites and learning requires face-to-face learning. The referral source facilities available in the campus library are limited, while the online-based referral resource facilities are provided by UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This learning model provides global and fast access while learning and searching for various reference sources. The learning model is blended learning. Blended learning is mixed learning that combines conventional, face-to-face learning models with remote learning using internet networks. Lecturers use an offline process in the form of face to face at the beginning of the lecture to explain the learning scenario. After that, learning uses the e-learning website facility that is owned by UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. This research approach uses qualitative, the type of research is a case study. This research will work to find facts on how the implementation of learning activities through blended learning at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang. The findings show that the blended learning model is implemented by developing a combination of conventional approaches, namely face-to-face learning using website-based learning, e-learning at UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang, which then succeeded in improving the quality of student learning.

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.

COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted teaching in a vriety of institutions. It has tested the readiness of academic institutions to deal with such abrupt crisis. Online learning has become the main method of instruction during the pandemic in Jordan. After 4 months of online education, two online surveys were distributed to investigate faculty’s and Students’ perception of the learning process that took place over that period of time with no face to face education. In this regard, the study aimed to identify both faculty’s and students’ perceptions of online learning, utilizing two surveys one distributed to 50 faculty members and another 280 students were selected randomly to explore the effectiveness, challenges, and advantages of online education in Jordan. The analysis showed that the common online platforms in Jordan were Zoom, Microsoft Teams offering online interactive classes, and WhatsApp in communication with students outside the class. The study found that both faculty and students agreed that online education is useful during the current pandemic. At the same time, its efficacy is less effective than face-to-face learning and teaching. Faculty and students indicated that online learning challenges lie in adapting to online education, especially for deaf and hard of hearing students, lack of interaction and motivation, technical and Internet issues, data privacy, and security. They also agreed on the advantages of online learning. The benefits were mainly self-learning, low costs, convenience, and flexibility. Even though online learning works as a temporary alternative due to COVID-19, it could not substitute face-to-face learning. The study recommends that blended learning would help in providing a rigorous learning environment.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to assess students’ perceptions of four teaching and learning (T&L) methods used in a blended learning Contract Law course, namely, frontal, written assignments, simulations and online asynchronous T&L. Design/methodology/approach Law students (n = 417) filled in an anonymous questionnaire on their relative satisfaction with the four methods and their preferences. Participation was voluntary. The questionnaire was administered at the end of term, in class, prior to the Covid-19 restrictions. The results were calculated using Statistical Package for Social Sciences. Findings The students preferred face-to-face T&L in class and ranked online T&L last. Notably, 84% preferred blended learning combining all four methods. These results suggest that the online T&L for this Contract Law course setting was unsuccessful and that teachers should experiment with blending various T&L methods to maximize learning effectiveness and students’ satisfaction. Research limitations/implications The results only reflect one course in one year among law students, thus affecting the generalizability of the findings. This is further exacerbated by the convenience sample and the fact that only one type of blending was evaluated. Overall, the findings indicated that the survey participants were not yet ready to embrace online T&L as a primary component of blended T&L. Practical implications This study Alternative online solutions should be sought to foster social learning when face-to-face learning is not feasible for reasons, such as geographic distance, students’ disabilities or the current pandemic that prohibits social gatherings. This conclusion is particularly pertinent with respect to the impact of Covid-19 on face-to-face learning. Designers of blended learning programs should listen more carefully to students’ voices, and bear in mind that minimizing face-to-face T&L for various reasons might jeopardize students’ satisfaction, which is likely to decrease learning effectiveness. Social implications It is important that students’ perceptions be considered when building future T&L programs, especially students’ need for collaborative and social learning. Originality/value This study assessed four T&L methods administered in one course during the pre-Covid-19 era. This setting, which is rare, enabled a real-life assessment of the effectiveness of these popular methods as perceived by students.
