Abstract
This paper presents an investigation into the implementation of blended learning (BL) in several countries where it has been used in schools to enhance the learning outcomes of students through the utilisation of technology in education. BL means integrating traditional tools of teaching with technical tools such as online learning through websites, CDs, and videos. To implement a sustainable BL environment, an IT infrastructure must be built including PCs and network access. This enables students to connect to the internet during the class to access educational web-based content as well as to share discussions about subjects with their peers in and out of the class. Developed countries in different regions such as USA, Europe, and the Far East have applied BL in their educational systems.
