The study aimed to measure the effectiveness of blended learning on developing the skills of designing and producing e-lessons, and the cognitive achievement of students of the College of Education at King Khalid University and their attitudes towards it. The study followed the descriptive and analytical approach in reviewing previous research, studies and literature related to blended learning and the quasi-experimental approach in designing the study, which included an achievement test to measure the cognitive aspect of designing and producing electronic lessons skills, and a measure of the trend towards using blended learning in the design and production of e-learning lessons. The study sample consisted of 45 undergraduate students who were studying the “Computer Use in Education” course in the second semester of the 2020-2021 academic years. They were randomly selected, and the blended training strategy that combines training was adopted by the "face to face" trainer and e-training based on the educational content management system. After conducting the statistical analysis process, the results indicated that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the sample members in the pre and post measurements in cognitive achievement related to the skills of designing and producing electronic educational lessons in favor of the post-measurement. It also showed that there were statistically significant differences between the average scores of the sample members in the direction towards using Blended learning in the design and production of educational e-lessons, and in light of the results of the study, many recommendations and research proposals were presented.
