1.5 Research Objectives
The objectives of the study are to answer the questions stated in the statement of Research Questions. The first objective of this research is to present
theoretical model which can be applied as a supplementary material in ICE class level 2 using Moodle learning model. The theoretical model will elaborate the
discussion of what the design of an online supplementary material in ICE class level 2 using Moodle application is like and how the portal is designed, based on
the need analysis and related theories. The theoretical model will be used as the basis for developing the iconic model.
The second objective of this research is to develop the iconic model and the practical online supplementary material using Moodle application in ICE class
level 2. There are some features offered by Moodle application which are finally selected to be included in the iconic model, namely: Resources,
AssignmentsQuiz, Forum, Links and Widgets. The chosen features and additional widgets are designed by considering the s
tudents’ need and the students’ characteristics in ICE classes. The final version of the iconic model is the
improved model that has been revised based on the feedback from the targeted users and the expert.
1.6 Product Specifications
This research is aimed to design a Moodle learning model for ICE students in level 2. It will serve as an online supplementary material for the students in ICE
class and will complete the blended learning course in ICE classes. This product is in the form of a website by using Moodle software. The materials that will be
12 presented in the portal are based on the topics given in the syllabus of ICE
program in Level 2. The targeted users are the students of ICE program in level 2 of PPBA at Duta Wacana Christian University. This model is developed to
facilitate the students‟ learning autonomy in using a web-based material and to improve the students‟ ability to understand the material given in class better.
