This study analyzed opinions of students on different learning methods like face-to-face, e-learning and b-learning using a questionnaire. The questionnaire was divided into two parts collecting student demographics and open-ended responses on their views. Responses were analyzed using ATLAS.ti software to code and organize data. A second study focused on introducing multimedia software in public education to improve learning efficiency without extensive training. The purpose was to identify education trends and develop an effective way to apply multimedia supporting various subjects and allowing foreign language learning through comprehension over grammar.
