There is a growing interest in in-person and blended learning in higher education due to the rapid advancements in information and communication technologies (ICT). This study aims to examine the effectiveness and implications of these learning approaches, particularly with regard to the crucial role that ICT plays in their implementation. This is done through a review of existing literature, addressing both emerging trends and current challenges in the area of hybrid and in-person learning. The results reveal a variety of benefits associated with blended learning, from increased flexibility for students to better opportunities for interaction and collaboration for the effective integration of technological tools. However, challenges were also identified, such as the need for teacher training and the digital divide. These findings have significant implications for practice and research in higher education, particularly in an increasingly digitalized world.
