Despite the increasing possibilities offered to us through developments in information technology for creating e-learning support, it is evident that a need exists to eliminate the disadvantages that classic e-learning can bring. The basic flaw of e-learning forms of learning is the absence of real communication with a teacher and the low-level (if not complete lack of) of social interaction between students and tutor of a particular e-learning course. This flaw can be removed with blended learning. The use of blended learning at the Business Academy and Secondary Special school and Higher Special School in Valašské Meziříčí has significantly streamlined...
