The development of the ICT has influenced various fields of life, including the development of teaching materials for undergraduate students of elementary school teacher programs of a distance university. This research aims to describe the effectiveness of blended learning of the new generation of science learning materials for science process skills. This research implements a quasi-experimental type of research. Respondents in this research were 56 students in the UT Regional Office area of Jember East of Java Indonesia. The results showed the students' mastery of science process skills and learning outcomes in natural science learning materials in both moderate and high categories. Student responses showed great interest in the science content, the teaching materials, and the learning atmosphere. The constraints faced in blended learning are the internet network to support the ICT-based tutorials and the challenge to change the habit of using printed science teaching materials during teaching within blended learning.

One of the technologies considered an efficient one is that of blended learning. Blended learning is a potential outcome of advanced technology-based learning system. The charm of blended learning approach lies in the adaptation of technology aided learning methods in addition to the existing traditional based learning. Research and Development (R&D) is used to describe the activities under taken by distance learning such as learning material to create new processes and products learning material conventional, blended learning and fully online. The term covers activities from scientific research performed in distance learning of the Open university. The contributions of this research to study, in especially education material , at the Open university to testing and refining products before the module of education learning material (case study) given to students. Learning materials play an important role in all courses of higher education. The delivery of course content from the lecture to students especially in open and distance learning higher education institutions like the Open university. This article will explore the use of research and development approach to produce novel learning and instructional materials that can be used to facilitate open and distance learning students. This study is divided into three big steps: 1. Design steps are modification by Borg and Gail, 2. Developing steps is until 8 steps and 3. Evaluation steps is until 15 steps. This article will also describe the process and the result of the study that results in designing a new generation of instructional and learning materials.
