Abstract
The development of information technology has driven changes in the education system, particularly through the implementation of distance learning and blended learning. This study aims to understand the concepts of these two learning models and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. The method used was a literature review, reviewing various books, scientific journals, and relevant research reports. The results show that distance learning provides flexibility in learning time and place and has been widely implemented, including at the Open University. However, this model faces challenges such as limited interaction and internet network constraints. Meanwhile, blended learning combines online and face-to-face learning, thereby increasing student engagement. Therefore, integrating these two learning models can be a solution to improve the quality of education in the digital era.
