Part of ongoing research into the efficacy of blended learning in higher education within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The need for, and development of, a Blended Learning Environment Instrument (BLEI) are explained. This new instrument assesses student perceptions across five core aspects of blended learning environments: Infrastructure, Access, Interaction, Response and Results. A pilot using 269 students enrolled at universities in KSA are presented and tested for reliability and validity.
