PRINTED BOOKS VERSUS E-BOOKS IN LEARNING
2. Blended Learning
Students have been surveyed on the use of eBooks. Findings indicate that as prices decline, their propensity to use eBooks rises, technical developments have contributed to eBooks becoming more than a written text shown in digital format as more up-to - date content is generated by websites. Licensing amendments such as Creative Commons also make it possible for more data to be available to students, allowing more possibilities for student study (Bialaszewski: 2013) The use of eBook for an educational purpose was very helpful to almost all students as they think it is much cheaper, compact and easily accessible from any location and at any point in time. Some of the participants may have discovered usage problems such as no choices for copying paste, etc.; however, most of them expected to use eBooks in the future if the eBooks’ features and characteristics are the same as this book (Oyaid and Alshaya: 2019).
with more control over their learning. It gives more freedom to students to select their learning activities. The instructor may no longer be an omniscient and omnipresent figure, but his / her ideal presence is also altered for the better. Through his or her learning now, the teacher has to be more imaginative. But Blended Learning still requires a very thorough assimilation of the different approaches, as freedom still comes with more responsibility (Nuruzzaman: 2016). In EFL environments, blended learning may be used as an effective way of teaching English grammar.
It is hoped that these findings will help to improve the skills required for blended learning for the university, faculty , and students (Bader et. al.:
2019).
In most places in Indonesia, hybrid learning is a mixture of traditional learning and e-learning. The method of spiritual guidance becomes more versatile, productive and efficient with blended learning in order to enhance students (Vasantan: 2016). Blended learning has a positive influence on the majority of experimental community learners (Madarina: 2018).
Online teaching is more readily embraced as a viable component of teaching and learning with the ever-increasing advancement of technology, and blended learning, the combination of online and facet-face learning, is becoming prevalent in many higher education institutions. Blended learning is in its early stages, especially in developing countries, and not without its challenges. In many areas of South-East Asia, asynchronous online lessons are much more prevalent at present, possibly due to possible difficulties in accessing good Internet connectivity, which could
prevent educators from synchronous choices. Technological media have the ability to extend the reach of available teaching tools and to transform the experience of language learning (Yu and Du: 2019).
Conclusion
Ebooks are portable and lightweight, accessible, easy to be updated, immersive, shareable, adjustable, more interactive, environment-friendly, affordable meanwhile, the printed books are more informative, easier to be used by children, healthier to the eyes, no need for distraction, both ebook and printed book shared the importance eventhough the ebooks are more common in use for today but basically they both shared its importance and lovers.
