Abstract: Previous research studies on blended learning have mainly focused on blending between either physical face-to-face and cyber asynchronous, or cyber face-to-face and cyber asynchronous environments. This research has created a holistic blended-learning environment (HBLE) in which physical face-to-face, cyber face-to-face and cyber asynchronous blended models are synthesized into one holistic blended-learning model. Such a model enables teachers and learners to do two-way interaction asynchronously and synchronously regardless of whether they are in physical space or cyber space. This research also explores whether significant differences exist in terms of effects on classroom climate and learning effectiveness between physical face-to-face groups (P-F2F) and cyber face-to-face groups (C-F2F).
