After more than 20 years of development, the evolution of the concept of blending learning has gone through three stages, namely, the application stage of technology, the integration stage of technology and the "Internet +" stage.  Under the concept of "Internet + education", blending learning shows a new connotation. During teaching process in a graduate course of “Monograph of Modern Electrochemical Surface Treatment” (MMEST) in Harbin Institute of Technology, blending learning mode was applied in part of lessons. MMEST course questionnaires showed that 26% of students liked lectures, 19% liked seminars, and 55% liked blending learning. We found that the effect of blending learning depended on teachers' abilities on the one hand and students' psychological state on the other. Teachers' attitudes and abilities have great influence on teaching effect. Teachers need more teaching practice in order to do a transition from traditional face-to-face classroom roles to the more complex roles required for blending teaching. Some students were anxious to achieve quick success and get instant benefit, who prefer to learn knowledge from lectures and got a high score though traditional exams, so they had a low motivation on preparation of speaking works out of the classroom. The key problems to be solved are how to inspire students' interest in learning, enhance students' interaction and make students have a pleasant learning experience by improving teachers' teaching abilities.<br/>
