This study aims to describe the implementation of blended learning-based management and the advantages of blended learning implementation at UNISNU Jepara and UMK Kudus. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. This descriptive research was conducted in UNISNU and UMK, Central Java, Indonesia. The participants are 35 lecturers, 30 students, and 5 IT staff. Data collection employs a range of techniques, including interviews, observation, and documentation. The data validity technique uses triangulation. Data analysis uses qualitative techniques. The research findings reveal that the management functions of blended learning-based English language learning at UNISNU and UMK encompass planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation, all while optimising each institution's human and educational resources. UNISNU and UMK have facilities for e-learning, support systems, information technology, internet networks, and Wi-Fi, which are sufficient to carry out blended learning. The results of this research strengthen Aerio’s theory regarding the management functions of blended learning in higher education, with several limitations. Resources include human resources (lecturers and students), learning materials, instructional methods, and equipment (such as software). The benefits of BL learning at the PBI UNISNU and UMK study programs, as experienced by lecturers and students, include enhanced skills in online learning, literacy, lecturer-student interaction, and increased student participation.
