Abstract

E-learning has been widely applied in higher education institutions to provide opportunities for students to learn anytime from anywhere. Blended program as a form of e-learning program design is developed to facilitate a mixture of offline and online courses. Given the nature of blended program design, researchers can gain the opportunity to study e-learning implication in the context of comparing offline and online classes. Such study is beneficial to contribute to literature that still needs evidence towards the implication of e-learning, in particular, the comparison between offline and online learning. This research makes an attempt to study student attendance and their academic achievement in a blended program. Assessing student experience in a blended program enables researchers to explore student attendance in online and offline classes. In addition, this study also gains the opportunity to relate student attendance into their academic achievement in order to analyze the implication of e-learning into academic result. Research data is gathered from a blended program in M.H.Thamrin University Jakarta that offers offline and online classes in three different study programs. Research findings show there are differences in student attendances and their academic achievement across offline and online classes. These findings indicate the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning application in higher education.
