Abstract
Outcome-Based Teaching & Learning (OBTL) and Blended Learning (BL) are widely promoted in higher education of Hong Kong. The use of online resources is one of the key components in OBTL or BL. In this paper, we are going to study how the effective use of online resources in Blended Learning would assist students in achieving specific learning outcomes. In particular, with the facilitation and guidance of teachers and a well-designed course learning mode, most students are able to use relevant online resources effectively and efficiently among the overwhelming information on the web.
