The advancement of technology and various learning strategies in education field had caused the emergence of variety of teaching approaches in educational technology. Currently we had recognised a lot of teaching approaches such as authentic learning, problem-based learning, personalized learning and blended learning. However this paper work will focus only on blended learning in our education nowadays. Blended learning has been used and gained popularity in education and training for recent years. Blended learning, hybrid learning and mixed mode learning are the same things (Dziuban, et al, 2004), since different campus or institution used different terms. Blended learning does not have specific meaning to explain itself. Moebs & Weibelzahl (2006) defined blended learning as the mixture of online and face to face meeting in one integrated learning activities. Blended learning also means using a variety of delivery methods which combining face to face meeting in traditional classroom with teaching online to achieve the course objectives (Akkoyunlu & Soylu, 2006). While, Graham (2005) stated that, blended learning is an approach which integrates the face to face teaching and computer mediated instruction in a pedagogical environment.
