Abstract
This research focuses on students’ attitudes towards Blended learning and the use of information and communication technology (ICT) at the University of Jordan. A sample of 150 students who have taken blended course have been chosen to complete a questionnaire that includes aspects of knowledge and attitude towards blended learning. The results of the study showed that Blended learning is beneficial to students, and most students understand the goals of e-learning by Blended learning fully. The students generally showed a positive attitude towards Blended learning. In addition, they have shown sufficient information on the area of Blended learning and to determine when and how to use the tools they are provided with in combination. It also found that blended learning is more effective to develop and improve knowledge and skills than conventional methods of teaching. The findings also showed that Blended research online tools help students to gain insight and improve their skills and that their roles in their own learning process have a huge impact on student lives.
