Blended Learning and Sustainability in Accounting Education: A Review of the Literature

This article conducts a systematic literature review of 68 studies published between 2020 and 2025 to examine how blended learning (BL) advances sustainability in accounting education. The global shift towards sustainability has permeated higher education, yet accounting pedagogy remains defined by lecture-based structures and high resource consumption. Blended learning—a deliberate fusion of in-person instruction and digital technologies—improves long-term pedagogical and economic sustainability while lessening environmental impact. Using thematic analysis across pedagogical, environmental, and economic dimensions, the review finds that blended learning develops digital and analytical skills for sustainability reporting through virtual simulations and collaborative platforms. The paper discusses academic integrity and digital equity, offers a conceptual framework, and emphasizes practical techniques. Blended learning promotes deeper learning, lowers operating expenses, and develops a culture of responsibility—essential components of sustainable accounting education.
