Teachers may also give assessable tasks in dealing with the objectives of the material presented to students. E-Learning system has been established by the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education in 2016 aimed at individual or group learning using Information and Computer Technology (ICT) and social networks, providing flexibility for students to study anytime, anywhere, and with anyone and can be combined with face-toface, namely blended learning, but has innovative value because it provides new nuances in the teaching and learning process that is different from ordinary face-toface learning in classroom.

This is in accordance with the results of research by Noni Agustina and Ratnawati Susanto (Agustina & Susanto, 2017) that most students are very happy and motivated to use edmodo. Students in this case can easily search for material, or enter answers to assignments or quizzes given or discussion forums as well as personal messages on the homepage and edmodo message column. In terms of feedback and assessment, students are motivated to immediately collect answers to assignments or quizzes given at the specified time (due date) with the intention that they immediately get the value of the answer to their assignment compared to conventional learning where correcting student assignments in the form of multiple choice on edmodo can directly be known after students work on the problem. This does not happen in ordinary faceto-face learning because the lecturer has to make corrections one or two days after the quiz.
