quantitative study with survey and interview for confirming data. This research involved twenty-five
English Language Education students who are taking Extensive Reading course. This research contributes
to picture out perception in implementing Edmodo as Web-Quest as well Learning Management System
(LMS) in online classroom instructional activities. The result of this study highlights advantages and
disadvantages presented though perceptions in the using of Edmodo as Learning Management System.
The finding reveals that the involvement of Edmodo to material delivery still does not encounter the
predicted expectation. The limited storing material in the application and lack of feedback of the task
through the media are the reasons of the barrier. Despite the flaws that have been found, Edmodo is still
perceived highly in catering the students’ learning experience, developing understanding and evaluating
skills, fostering teamwork and discussion skills, and feeling an easiness of task access. It is recommended
that the use of Edmodo needs to be developed along with the various needs of students centered
activities.
