Technology has moved forward and keep changing and evolved in times. Today, the education sector is introduced with Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0), where it would be the latest journey for the education system. This study would like to identify students’ perceptions on usefulness of Google Classroom for Blended Learning, determine students’ perceptions on instruction delivery via Google Classroom for Blended Learning, and investigate students’ satisfaction in learning via Google Classroom for Blended Learning. Quantitative approach was used in this study and there were 100 respondents who participate in this study. They were undergraduate students who were enrolled for ELC590: English for Oral Presentation course. It was found that students thought that using Google Classroom as useful to be implemented in the classroom. At the same time, they mentioned that student-teacher interaction was more interactive, and instructions given by the lecturers were well-delivered. They felt that using Google Classroom should be used more in the future. Thus, Google Classroom should be one of the platforms used by the educators to have better and more engagement with the students when they conduct blended learning or online session.

The use of technology blurred the borders between classroom learning and online platform as a blended design. This design is appropriately applied in higher education in the fourth industrial revolution era. The study aimed to investigate the progression of undergraduate students' metacognition of blended learning and their achievement in the environmental chemistry course. The study employed a quantitative method. The quantitative method used a quasi-experiment research method. A non-equivalent post-tests group control design was applied. The population was fifty-nine students who enrolled in the environmental chemistry course in the chemistry education department at one of the public universities in Indonesia. Twenty-nine students were randomly selected for experimental class and thirty students in the control class. The experimental class experienced the blended learning environment, while the control class had conventional learning. At the end of the course, both classes measured their metacognition using the Testlet instrument. The Testlet instrument can measure students' cognitive achievement in environmental chemistry courses, also students' metacognition. There is different progress regarding students' metacognition between two groups. However, students' cognitive achievement showed the same trend. This gap is caused by various factors, such as a difference in learning experience and unpreparedness of students in blended learning.

E-learning is useful to help students gaining digital and data literacy during their studies particularly in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0). E-learning which is characterized by time and place flexibility should be utilized as a tool for self-learning. In Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), e-learning plays an important role as a supplementary tool for effective web-based learning. The purpose of this study is to examine what are the factors that drive students’ satisfaction in e-learning. A total of 194 samples were collected from undergraduate students in UTM using quantitative method. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the respondents. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was utilized for data analysis. The findings showed that delivery method and con-tent have a positive and significant relationship with satisfaction of using e-learning. However, system operations has no impact on students’ satisfaction in e-learning. In conclusion, the finding of this study is expected to provide an effective teaching model for general education schools.

The advent of blended learning and digital recording options has complicated the challenge of administering technology classrooms. From students’ perspective, “capturing” real-time student/teacher interaction is especially valuable for distance-learning applications or for those in traditionally seated environments as post-class tutorial/review. Survey evidence suggests that students highly value the convenience and flexibility of “anytime/anywhere” instructional access.

This research deals with the students’ achievement of speaking skills and perception towards Implementing Individual Rotation of blended learning. The writers discuss the effectiveness of blended learning implemented in the pre-test and post-test of English speaking skill achievement of the 2nd semester of English Department students of the University of Sumatera Utara and their perception of it. This research aims to find out how the Individual Rotation Model of blended learning improves students’ English speaking skill achievement using the Learn Social platform and to find out students’ perceptions after implementing blended learning. In conducting this research, the writers apply descriptive with a mixed-method (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2011) analyzing the students’ achievement found in the pre-test and post-test and giving the online questionnaire to assess their perception towards blended learning. The data shows that the student's achievement in the post-test (Mean=87%) was higher than the pre-test (Mean=85%) out of 50 students. According to the data, 90% of the 42 students gave a positive response to blended learning. The result showed Individual Rotation Model improves the English speaking skill achievement especially in the components of speaking skill namely, vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension, and effective to be implemented for undergraduate students in the era of industrial revolution 4.0.

Computer systems and technologies are changing our society significantly. These changes are interconnected with both social and production spheres. Innovative digital technologies have a huge impact on the labor market and professional activity, contributing to their transfer to the electronic environment. Using digital technologies, modern people set new goals and solve problems with an increasing speed of problem solving, capitalizing on the possibilities of collaborative distributed actions within networks. In this regard, new competencies of specialists are in demand. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to establish the impact of the fourth industrial revolution on the education system and the development of skills and thinking for learning. Methods: When conducting scientific research, economic and statistical methods were used. These methods were also used in comparative analysis, as well as in assessing data and indicators of the higher education system, taking into account the impact of the fourth industrial revolution. The analytical method was used to consider the characteristics and factors influencing the development of skills and thinking for learning in modern conditions. The abstract-logical method is used to identify problems affecting the development of the labor market under the influence of digital technologies. Results and their value: The result of the study is that conclusions are drawn about the upcoming changes. Automation and digitalization are likely to lead to significant unemployment in most countries, so adaptation innovation policies are needed to help offset unemployment due to digitalization. Governments need to invest heavily in higher education as an economic development tool for their citizens. Lifelong learning should be identified as a critical element of success in the era of the fourth industrial revolution. Curricula should develop digital skills and address workforce disruptions due to automation.

Decades of research has shown that television, as a medium for delivering instruction, is at least as effective as classroom lecture. Although many educators have expressed concern over the quality and frequency of student/teacher interaction available through televised courses, studies indicate that different learners may have distinct needs for varying types of interaction. As the use of videocassette recorders has become widespread possibilities have increased for new methods of video-based instruction. The increasing use of videocassettes for delivery of instruction has also raised questions for possible future research on how student use of this medium differs from broadcast television or live classroom lecture.
