In blended learning, teaching methods can be customized for individual needs, especially with the help of online learning environments. Interviews prove that teachers think that using computers personalized teaching. Personalizing the education was very helpful and facilitated learning. Those students who were faster, could do more advanced tasks and at their own pace. Those students who needed more time could do easier tasks and also at their own pace. Teaching can happen both synchronously and asynchronously in blended learning. Mobile devices are portable and enable learners to connect to the Internet anywhere and anytime.
