Accroding to Grraham (2006), the rationale for using blended learning is driven from
its following benefits:
1- encouraging the development of critical thinking skills
2- satisfying students ‘ needs and interests
3- offering more flexibility to learners: Some of the learning may take place at
scheduled face to face times while other parts occur online at their
convenience.
4- creating social interaction among students and their instructor.
5- increasing access and flexibility : It aims at keeping a sort of balance between
flexible learning options and the interactive human experience.
6- increasing cost effectiveness : It provides an opportunity for reaching a large
globally dispersed people in a short period of time with consistent, semi
personal content delivery.
