Several massive  platforms  are used in schools,  both primary and tertiary levels, to 
facilitate the development of students' affective and psychomotor values, which tend to be 
unclear about learning outcomes and indicators of success. Whereas the character values of 
students can be translated through these 2 important aspects, not only focusing on cognitive 
aspects. So that the 3 aspects become a unified whole in shaping the character of the nation's 
generation, it requires an ideal platform so that these important components are facilitated 
through  an  educational  platform  that  has  meaning,  value,  and  character  (Prayetno  et  al., 
2022). 
Offline and online learning or blended learning requires the readiness of authority and 
collaboration from both parties involved, namely teachers and students. In addition, in the e-
learning-based  learning  process,  students  certainly  need  supporting  facilities  and 
infrastructure  so  that  learning  can  take  place  and  have  better  learning  quality  (Rustiani, 
2014). The most important thing in online learning activities is the use of online media in its 
implementation. Based on the results of Sabran & Sabara's research, the use of new media is 
an adaptive use because it is able to  deliver a series of solutions in teaching and learning 
methods. Online learning activities prioritize the use of online media in their implementation. 
There  are  many  platforms  that  can  be  used  during  online  learning,  such  as  google  meet, 
zoom,  webex,  and  others.  However,  it  turns  out  that  not  all  schools  are  able  to  use  the 
existing  online  platform.  Various  reasons  arise  such  as  inadequate  online  facilities  and 
infrastructure in schools, and unsupportive human resources (Sabran & Sabara, 2019). 
Several schools in the city of Medan have implemented distance learning (PJJ) which 
should compare offline and online during the unfinished pandemic period, then the continuity 
of learning activities continues by utilizing existing technology as a blended learning facility. 
For students at the high school (SMA) level, the learning method used is the WhatsApp group 
social media, learning management system with the Google Classroom platform (Rustiani, 
2014). Through the WhatsApp group , the teachers provide instructions regarding learning 
materials and assignments ( offline and online ). Assignments that have been given by the 
teacher are done in each student's workbook offline . Usually the teachers will set a time for 
submitting assignments  to  school. While  students  work on  online  assignments  and  collect 
them directly through the platform that has been provided (Prayetno et al., 2022). 
The author's assumption about the term offline learning does not mean total face-to-
face,  but  learning  activities  carried  out  outside  the  network,  can  use  electronic  books, 
television, textbooks or other media that are not connected to the internet or offline. Likewise 
with PJJ, distance learning is  carried  out  the  same as  offline  but still uses  LMS or  social 
media  as  a  means  of  interaction  and  communication  between  teachers  and  students. 
Therefore,  online,  offline  and  PJJ  learning  requires  application  devices  that  can  facilitate 
student learning activities both online and offline ( blended learning ) (Zurika & Lainnya, 
2021). 
Based on these online and offline learning activities, it can be seen that the technology 
used to support learning activities is still very limited. So we need a platform that will make it 
easier for  teachers  and  students  in  blended  learning  activities,  in  the  era  of  digitalization, 
teachers actually have  the  establishment  of  cyber pedagogy as  knowledge  and  are able to 
apply  smart  education  that  adheres  to  4  cutting-edge  technology  references,  then  can  be 
tracked through the  teacher's  activities,  because  being  a  teacher in  the  digital  era  requires 
competence  in  the  field  of  pedagogical  technology  and  learning  content  (Kemendikbud, 
2020).
