2. Previous Study
The emerges of electronic and online learning platform as learning
management system has replaced the role of traditional face-face classroom
learning activities. (Averkieva, Chayka, & Glushkov, 2015; Fix, Kolesnikov,
& Petrova, 2015; Sokolova, Rostovtseva, & Wasilewski, 2015)
Mullama (2010), claimed that Blackboard as online learning platform
provide ICT solutions in giving supports to English classroom activities,
group-work, pair work assignment, individual works, that enforcing
student-centred learning and the principles of students autonomy.
Another experimental study also showed the effectiveness of web 2.0 tools
such as; Slide share, You tube, Podcast, Flikr, and Picasa in increasing
students’ English proficiency in higher education settings, (Shishkovskaya,
Bakalo, and Grigoryev 2015)
Blending face-to-face teaching with an online LMS was suggested as the
alternative to enhance students’ motivation rather than having pure online
teaching environment, since teacher can still provide direct encouragement
to encourage students learning (Bilgin, 2013).
