Poor traditional classroom learning has been a major concern in the teaching and learning
activity. This conventional ―chalk and talk‖ method is replaced by pure online learning. E-
learning, a method which evolved from distance education, has received special attention
from public universities. However, for e-learning to be effective, it must be combined with
the other forms of learning such as face to face learning. This combination leads to a new
methodology called blended learning. This blended learning has proven to be the most
effective learning system. This paper conducts an exploratory study of blended learning in
higher education institution (HEI) in Malaysia. The focus is on understanding what it means
by blended learning, the implementation of blended learning at HEIs, and what benefits can
be identified. This study also proposes a framework for making blended learning work best in
HEIs. (Author's abstract)
