Recommendations - The Effect of Using Technology and Blended Learning

After going through a vast literature and analysis of the collected data there are some recommendations for the policy-makers, teachers and parents to help the learners and students for the adoption of the technology and blended learning for the better results and academic performance of the students. The recommendations are as follows:

 The seminars, workshops and training programs should be conducted for the teachers to help them for the adoption of the technology and blended learning techniques during the process of teaching.

 The blended learning techniques and adoption of technology should be made compulsory in all educational institutions.

 The students should be facilitated by their parents and teachers to utilise internet technology for the purpose of their study.

 The students should be given trainings about the application of the specific technological tools, if they face any problem during their application.

 The counselling of the students should be done about the application of the technology for the purpose of the learning and education.
