Abstract

People associate education with prosperity. In a dynamic environment, they need such prosperity even more. In the quest for prosperity, some different forms of education appear intended for satisfaction of various educational needs. In any case, at the one end of the system there is always the consumer (student) and at the other the seller (higher education institution). What is important is who could stand in between, and how, in order to increase the efficiency of educational process. The new forms of education enter the market under the pressure of consumers. One of their main purposes is to restructure the space and time of education. Guided by these ideas the University of National and World Economy was the first state-run university to introduce the modern form of distance learning. This article emphasizes the advantages of blended learning as the point of balance between traditional education and e-learning.
