PEMANFAATAN E-LEARNNG SEBAGAI SALAH SATU BENTUK PENERAPAN TIK DALAM PROSES PEMBELAJARAN

Abstract

The implementation of Information and Communication Technology in learning process
has been consciously or unconsciously insperabale to the learning process in classroom. The
positive impacts it brings has been tremendous including creating opportunities flexibily
accessed by students anywhere and anytime, enriching learning materials, enlivening learning
process, making learning process more open, improving the effectiveness of teaching and
learning process and promoting student’s autonomy. To benefit from it, educational institution
either schools or universities should have been implementing it in varied ways, either
complementary or substitutive.
Yet, it takes a lot of energy, cost, teacher’s computer skill etc to directly employ ICT in
schools and universities. Applying ICT in leveled stages according to categorization defined by
Tella is therefore preferable seeing the present condition generally occurs in Indonesian schools
and universities. By stepping from the first, the third, the second and the forth category, schools
will be more well prepared and ready to eventually implement ICT, particularly e-learning in its
most advanced practice as multimedia and internet-based learning environment, which ensures
the flexibility and the distributedness of the learning process among students in larger scopes. In
that regard, this article is aimed at highlighting the framework of developing ICT implementation
program in schools or universities by addressing their current conditions.
