Background: Dermatotherapy is an important topic in Dermatology and Venereology module. The time allocated for dermatotherapy topic is limited, so that the development of learning method is needed to achieve the learning objectives. Blended learning is a combination of e-learning and face to face lecture session. This method is often used when there is less time available for lecturing and limited number of teachers. This learning method is expected to be more effective and efficient for the students and also the teachers. This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of blended learning method used in dermatotherapy topic, and to identify the obstacle of using this method. Methods: This study is a cross sectional study, using quantitative and qualitative approach, involving 22 fifth-year medical students of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia who enrolled in dermatology and venereology module. We collected data from questionnaire, pre and post-test, and feedback from the students. Comparison of pre-test and post-test results were analysed using paired T test, and followed by bivariate test of students’ characteristic, gadget usage and e-learning activities associated with the increased post-test score.Results: An increased in post-test score was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Approximately 95,4% of students passed the final exam on the dermatotherapy subject. Bivariate analysis revealed that the number of gadgets owned, digital usage and e- learning activities did not have a significant effect on the post-test score. Based on the students’ feedback, blended learning had a positive impact on helping their learning process; however, the materials of e-learning must be interactive, informative and comprehensive. Face-to-face lecture is still an important component in learning hence it is irreplaceable. Conclusion: Blended learning is an effective method of learning and should be considered if there is limitation of lecture time and number of teachers available. By using this method, medical students are more flexible in their study and it can be adjusted to their own learning style hence heling them understand better. Further development and improvement are needed for this method as to achieve the learning objectives.  Keywords: blended learning, dermatotherapy, medical students

Learning Al-Qur'an in schools today still uses the old methods, drill and lecture. So students are not involved in learning, on the other hand, they become the object of learning itself. Al-Qur'an learning innovation is absolutely necessary, in order to stimulate student motivation and create a pleasant atmosphere of learning. Blended Learning Method is the combination of face-to-face and non-face-to-face methods both through offline and online digital learning. This method becomes a solution for learning Al-Qur'an because of the lack of face-to-face hours and it is not achieving the true learning objectives of Al-Qur'an. The purpose of this research is to find out the best solution in learning Al-Qur'an. The object of this research is the method of learning Al-Qur’an in Senior high schools (SMA) Muhammadiyah 16 Jakarta. This study used Research and Development methods. After conducting in-depth research, the results are found that the learning model of Al-Qur’an in SMA Muhammadiyah 16 needs to be developed into blended cooperative learning based e-learning.

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning (virtual class) in achieving procedural knowledge necessary to conduct practical class in the laboratory. In this study, teaching modules were prepared on eight selected topic related to pharmacology laboratory works. Virtual classes were conducted among the postgraduate MD students (n=26) of this Department. To know the existing procedural knowledge pre-test was taken before the classes and to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual class,  a post-test was carried out seven days later. To get the feedback from students, two additional questionnaire surveys were done. The performance of each student improved in the post-test in comparison to the pre-test. Most of the students mentioned that virtual class was easier in comparison to face to face class. But they preferred combination classes to learn procedural knowledge.

Blended learning is basically a combination or mixture found in learning practice. Blended learning is a further development of the e-learning method, namely learning methods that combine e-learning systems with conventional or face-to-face methods. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of the models and learning devices both in terms of content and model constructs, as well as to find out student responses to the model developed. The model developed was validated through a forum mechanism, namely, focus group discussion (FGD) which was followed by researchers and experts. The suggestions and improvements generated from the validation activities were then followed up to revise the Inquiry Collaborative Tutorial-based blended learning model. Inquiry Collaborative Tutorial-based blended learning model and learning devices developed in this study have met valid criteria in content and construct. Valid content because there are elements of need and novelty, as well as valid constructs because there is consistency between parts of the model and there is relevance between the models developed with learning theories that underlie it. In general, the average student responds positively to the blended learning model based on the Inquiry Collaborative Tutorial. The model applied is considered to provide opportunities for students to actively participate.

The influence is clearly visible one of them to the method of learning. Learning methods that used to be done only face-to-face in the classroom and make the educator as a center of information (conventional) gradually begin to change towards learning that is also on-line based on the internet as an information center (E-Learning internet based). In STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat E-Learning internet based learning method itself has been introduced and implemented since 2014, but has not been maximally optimized. This is because the method does not have a standard in its implementation, and also conventional face-to-face learning method can not be abandoned completely, hence there is overlap between the two. Accordingly, this study developed a model of learning that combines the concept of conventional learning with the concept of E-Learning internet based called Blended Learning. Blended Learning model is expected to be a solution to the above problems, so that the learning process can be implemented effectively.

Abstract. Teaching and learning activities are generally implemented using conventional learning method that is face to face between learners with educators in the same place and time. Conventional learning facilitates communication between learners and educators, but less time for discussion and limited space. Overcoming it then required a model that can make learning without time and space limited. Blended learning is a learning model that combines the conventional learning model with online digital media learning model that allows students to discuss unlimited time and place. The research is to develop blended learning model using blogger which is expected to be an additional media to support teaching and learning activities. Keywords: blended learning; kelas virtual; blogger Abstrak. Kegiatan belajar mengajar secara umum dilaksanakan menggunakan metode pembelajaran konvensional yaitu tatap muka antara peserta didik dengan pendidik di tempat dan waktu yang sama. Pembelajaran  konvensional memudahkan komunikasi antar peserta didik dan pendidik, tetapi waktu untuk berdiskusi tidak banyak dan tempat yang digunakan terbatas. Mengatasi hal tersebut maka diperlukan sebuah  model yang dapat membuat pembelajaran tanpa terbatas waktu dan tempat. Blended learning merupakan model pembelajaran yang memadukan antara model pembelajaran konvensional dengan model pembelajaran media  digital online yang memungkinkan siswa dapat berdiskusi tanpa terbatas waktu dan tempat. Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah mengembangkan model  blended learning menggunakan blogger yang diharapkan dapat menjadi media tambahan pendukung kegiatan belajar mengajar. Kata kunci: blended learning, kelas virtual, blogger

As one of the blended learning forms, a flipped classroom has its specific typology to differentiate itself from other blended learning models. Aims to support student-centered learning activities in which self-direction in learning might be fostered, the effect of flipped classroom scenario to students' self-direction had never been reviewed. This work, performed at the University of Strasbourg, involved lecturers who teach informatics and physics engineering course. First, observations of the online learning environments and face-to-face classes had been managed. Second, a pre and post-test questionnaire, which aimed to measure its participants' progress on self-direction, had been fulfilled by the students. This study pointed out that students enrolled in a translated flipped classroom course had not developed their self-direction competence. However, the significant progress of students' self-direction in learning has been documented among students enrolled in a course with an interactive flipped classroom scenario.
