Abstract
Blended Learning (BL) is an instructional method that combines in-person instruction with information and communication technology (ICT) instruction. Any network considers the Internet of Things (IoT)-based technologies to be devices. During the COVID-19 pandemic, an IoT-based BL model may be the optimal New Normal solution for all educational stakeholders. Social distance compels the evolution of traditional face-to-face interactions. Many Internets of Things (IoT)-based "things" could be added to the classroom to create and improve an intelligent learning environment, and portable devices could be linked to achieving learning objectives. Prevention of COVID-19. The BL could be subdivided into four characteristics: face-to-face, Self-Paced, Tele-Distance, and Ubiquitous, which were further categorised into three typical learning environment scenarios: Digital, Embedded, and Side-by-Side. Online/blended learning could better meet the academic needs of students during emergencies such as pandemics, wars, and natural disasters. The use of ICT-based technologies has transformed the entire teaching pedagogy into a learner centred pedagogy; therefore, the ability to use technology should be considered one of the essential qualifications for teachers/educators and students. It is necessary to comprehend how teachers and students view blended or online learning modes in teaching and learning transactions. Providing blended or online learning in education is challenging, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
