Abstract
The advancement of technology nowadays provides opportunities in education including the adoption of blended learning. The objective of this project was to examine Information Technology students’ preferences on blended learning. Findings found that most students preferred to use it in Science subjects/courses, both inside the class and outside the classroom, and learn via online with a blended learning method as revision after the class. However, students of low and medium math anxious students had no significant difference in their preferences. It is hoped that the findings of the project will help researchers to customise the incorporation of blended learning tools in students learning as well help educators in planning and adopting blended learning, and benefit students in their learning. The system developers also should consider designing and develop more suitable systems/apps for students in learning Language subjects.
