As the online and blended learning has started to be accepted as delivery methods for teaching, the educators in institutions of higher education need to explore on how to conduct online class by using multiple types of digital contents to deliver their learning objects. This paper discusses the findings of an empirical study in accepting video as one of the teaching materials to support blended learning activities. Three sets of videos that contain the learning objects for three different courses were distributed to the students through i-Learn portal during their online class. Questionnaires were distributed one week after the videos had been viewed by the students to assess their acceptance of the new approach and the satisfaction on learning using videos. The study was carried out on 120 students from Diploma in Computer Science taking two different computer science courses and40 students from Diploma in Sport Science taking IT Essential for Sports course. The analysis from the returned questionnaires by the students shows that they can adapt with the new approach since most of the students’are computer and Internet literate. At the same time, they are also gradually adapting various types of learning materials.
