The perception of students towards blended learning in private institutions/ Nur Izzah Jaffri

The advent of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) led to the creation of new industries and the emergence of new products and services that have steadily become more readily available to a greater number of people around the globe. Over the last decades the world has witnessed a rapid rise in the use of ICTs in most human fields of activity, which has led to important social changes. And ICTs have had a particularly strong impact on one specific area, that of training and education with the development of distance learning courses in which computers, fiber-optic cables and electronic networks play a central role (Rosenberg, 2001; Friedman, 2007). By combining all of these technologies, electronic learning (e-learning) has been able to flourish in the corporate training market because it offers customers more flexible training solutions (Mackay & Stockport, 2006).
