The Development of Blended Learning Model using WordPress

Abstract

In general, the learning process is implemented using face-to-face model, meaning that students and teachers are in one place and at one time. With this model, common communication between students and teachers can be easily implemented. However, there are some obstacles that may be faced such as the lack of time to discuss and the limited space that can be used. To overcome these problems, a model that provides a medium for gathering students and teachers without limited time and space is needed. One of these models is known as blended learning. The blended learning model allows students and teachers to discuss and share material as well as practice questions on a virtual classroom. The research undertaken was to develop a blended learning model using an analysis of the blended learning implementation framework and the use of Content Management System (CMS) WordPress technology. This model is expected to be an additional medium used to support the teaching and learning processes.
