Complexrolesand responsibilitiesthat teachershavein theblended learning processare presentedfrom anational and internationalperspectiveand also in accordance withthe main principles that must be followed in developing the blended learningsystem.Electronic instruments shouldn't be just a part of the class, but all the parties involved in the teaching and learning process need to transform the computer in a real partner throughout this entire process. Therefore, there were formulated a series of rules that should be applied in blended learning in order to respect some basic didactic principles for building a fast and effectiveness teaching process. This requires a proper incorporation of ICTelements combined with certain key roles of the teacher who must improve the assimilation speed and student's interest, in order to facilitateknowledge transfer, encourage and increasing students' abilities and skills, mediate and monitor their actions. The most important contribution of blended learning is to stimulate students desire to continue learning beyond the physical boundaries of the classroom, school and to assess both individual and collective learningprogress.
