Abstract

Owing to the expansion of information and communication technologies (ICT), both teaching and learning have tremendously changed in the past two decades. The most suitable and popular teaching methodology nowadays seems to be blended learning. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the benefits and limitations of the blended learning approach in one of the blended courses run by the Faculty of Informatics and Management in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. Moreover, the author of this article emphasizes the importance of the teacher’s/tutor’s role in blended courses and provides a few suggestions for the improvement of blended learning in practice.
