2. According to Harding, Kaczynski and Wood
(2005), Blended learning is a learning approach
that integrates traditional face-to-face learning
and distance learning using online learning
resources and a variety of communication
options that teachers and students can use.
Implementing this approach allows the use of
online learning resources, especially web-based
ones, without leaving face-to-face activities.
With the implementation of this blended
learning, learning takes place more meaningfully
because of the diversity of learning resources
3. the characteristics of blended learning are:
• Learning that combines different delivery
modes, learning models, learning styles, and
various diverse technology-based media.
• As a combination of direct learning (face to
face), self-study, and self-learning via online.
• Learning supported by an effective
combination of delivery, teaching and learning
styles.
• Teachers and parent learners have an equally
important role, teachers as facilitators, and
4. Blanded Learning Procedures
Professor Steve Slemer (2005) and Soekartawi
(2005) are:
• Set the kinds and materials of teaching
materials.
• Set the design of Blended Learning used.
• Set formats from on-line Learning.
• Test the designed design.
• Organize Blended Learning well with how to
prepare teachers who are experts in the field.
• Prepare criteria to evaluate the
implementation of Blended Learning.
5. Advantages and Disadvantages of
Blended Learning
Excess blended learning:
1.Learning occurs independently and
conventionally that can complement each
other
2.Learning is more effective and efficient.
3.Improve accessibility. With the existence of
blended learning then learners more easily in
accessing learning materials.
6. Lack of blended learning:
1. The media required is very diverse, so it is difficult to
apply if the facilities and infrastructure are not
supportive.
2. Unequal facilities owned by learners, such as
computers and internet access. Whereas in blended
learning required adequate internet access, if the
network is inadequate will complicate the
participants in following the self-learning via online.
3. Lack of public knowledge of the use of technology
4. Unequal facilities owned by learners, such as
computers and internet access.
