Abstract

Lembaga Bahasa dan Pendidikan Profesional (LBPP) LIA has made use of a blended learning type. It is a face-to-face training combined with self-paced e-learning from Smart Choice Series equipped with iTools. These materials are already in use for almost four years and are approaching the ending or evaluation time for the materials' usage. This research investigated the utilizations of itools' features by the teachers in terms of the knowledge and the frequency. The respondents were 14 teachers of LBPP LIA Banjarmasin and Banjarbaru and they have ever taught the level of Elementary (El) and Intermediate (In) using the Smart Choice iTools. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaire in April on Term II of 2017. This study serves as an early and partial evaluation on the implementation of blended learning by utilizing the Smart Choice iTools. The results showed that some features are elaborated to the fullest meanwhile at the same time, some others are not frequently in use. These conditions might be due to the teachers' knowledge of the features or the activities carried out during the sessions.
