Blended Learning implementation in introduction to artificial intelligence courses using the System Development Life Cycle method

Abstract

Indonesia is an island nation with geographical conditions that are bounded by many seas and mountains. The situation causes the condition of the islands that are far apart from one another. This certainly affects the conditions and social, economic, technological, and related interactions in daily life, one of which is the level of educational progress in one region / island with other regions / islands. The level of educational progress is certainly influenced by how the learning system is implemented in that place. To overcome the obstacles in improving the quality of learning and equal distribution of learning opportunities in different geographical, cultural, socioeconomic conditions, one solution is created, namely Blended Learning by utilizing devices connected to the internet. Methods that can be used in this research include SDLC (System Development Life Cycle). The optimism of the successful implementation of the Blended Learning system is very high because the facilities and atmosphere of various parties are very supportive plus the needs will become priority needs for everyone in this case students. In the province of East Nusa Tenggara has the geographical conditions of many islands, therefore the Blended Learning system is good enough to be applied, because in addition to the above mentioned transportation limitations for students and educators also become obstacles in conventional learning.
