  ICT or Information and Communication Technology has pervaded the fields of
education.In recent years the term e-learning has emerged as a result of the
integration of ICT in the education fields. Following the application this
technology into teaching, some pitfalls have been identified and this have led
to the Blended learning phenomenon.However the preference on this new method
has been debated quite extensively.The aim of this paper is to investigate the
advantages of blended learning over face to face instruction through reviews of
related literature.The present survey revealed that blended learning is more
favorable than pure e-learning and offers many advantages for learners like
producing a sense of community or belonging.This study concludes that blended
learning can be considered as an efficient approach of distance learning in
terms of students' learning experience student-student interaction as well as
studentinstructor interaction and is likely to emerge as the predominant
education model in the future.
