Purpose: The main aim of this article is to present the advantages and disadvantages of the use of blended learning in teaching Fundamentals of Materials Science and Metal Materials. The purpose of carried research is to analyse the effectiveness of e-learning as means of teaching in blended learning model. Design/methodology/approach: This article includes a description of blended learning; comparison of students' results in materials science between the traditional method and remote teaching using the Internet; dependencies between the effects of teaching and results of students' tests written using the platform. Findings: This article includes a description of blended learning; comparison of students' results in materials science between the traditional method and remote teaching using the Internet; dependencies between the effects of teaching and results of students' tests written using the platform. Research limitations/implications: Larger population of students should be tested so as to give measurable results, which would imply what needs to be worked on and what changes to introduce in order to improve the e-learning process. Originality/value: The document's research material confirms that e-learning makes it possible to use a new form of education which can connect the advantages of traditional learning and remote education in the field of materials science.
