Abstract: | Higher education institutions have been increasingly adopting blended
learning as a course delivery mode in the recent years. This article reports a systematic
review of the current literature on the advantages of blended learning. Starting from 855
papers, ten articles met the predefined inclusion criteria for the literature synthesis. The
papers were screened and analysed through three screening phases. Major themes focused
on the advantages of blended learning were drawn from the final ten papers and include
a) increasing students’ academic performance, b) increasing students’ social abilities, c)
decreasing course drop-out rates, d) increasing students’ satisfaction and, e) increasing
teaching and learning flexibility. The results also indicate that different higher education
institutions adopt blended learning approach for different reasons. Implications of this
review and future research directions are proposed. |
