Abstract
The aim of the article is to reveal the theoretical and empirical assumptions of blended learning, as one of the factors that increase the attractiveness of studies, using the case analysis of Kauno Technikos Kolegija (KTK). The first part presents the theoretical insights of blended learning and analyse the forms of this type of learning. During the theoretical analysis, the main constructs, criteria and indicators are defined. The second part of the article is devoted to the presentation of research results and scientific discussion. The aim of the research is to reveal students’ opinion about the implementation of blended learning at KTK. Survey (in written) and Focus group discussion methods are used in the research. It is received that blended learning increases the attractiveness of studies, because students positively evaluate the organisation of blended learning at KTK, notice the advantages of this form of learning, which allows the learner to partially control the time, place and duration of learning.
