Researchers observe the fulfillment of daily needs in terms of technology and information that cannot be avoided anymore. The survey results from the Indonesian Internet Network Providers Association (APJII) in 2019 internet users in Indonesia were 132.7 million people. Where the total population of Indonesia is 256.2 million, it means that internet users in Indonesia are 5 1.8%. Utilization of the internet network is characterized by the use of computers and mobile phones. The age of internet users varies, according to their respective uses such as social media, entertainment, games, browsing, buying and selling, and so on (Benito-Osorio et al., 2013, Hermann et al., 2016. It does not close the possibility, one of them is students in college and generation A (born in 2009) who prefer to use the internet more. The characteristics of generation Z and A have in common namely fluent technology, intense interaction through social media, and expressive.
Technology and education cannot be separated, all of which must be in line. Learning activities must use blended learning because e-learning is one way for lecturers and students to use technology (K. Hamid et al, 2019). Blended learning is one of the solutions that can be implemented by lecturers in learning (Czaplinski andFielding, 2020, Jeganathan andFleming, 2020). According to (Hinneburg et al., 2020) blended learning is an opportunity to integrate innovation and technology offered by online learning with conventional learning interaction and participation. Blended learning activities are characterized by combining conventional and online learning (Tayebinik andPuteh, 2013, Syakur, 2018). The integration of learning is adjusted to the learning objectives to be achieved. The learning system in question that uses the Learning Management System (LMS). (Soliman, 2014) LMS is a software application for administration, documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of educational courses or training programs. LMS can be said to be a learning management prepared for students and lecturers in learning through software. The LMS software that can be used include: ACS, Blackboard, CarPoint, Moodle, Canvas, Google Classroom, and so on (Jöns and Hoyler, 2013, Yuliana, 2013, Budiarta and Krismayani, 2014. The results of a preliminary study of the types of LMS found that goggle classroom is a multiplatform application that can be used by users.

New Media Theory
New media theory is a theory developed by (Al Faruqi, 2019), which suggests that new media is a theory that discusses the development of media. In the new media theory, there is a view of social interaction, which distinguishes the media according to their proximity to face-toface interaction (Antony et al., 2015). Antony et al (2015) view the World Wide Web (WWW) as an open, flexible and dynamic information environment that enables humans to develop new knowledge orientations and also engage in a democratic world about mutual sharing and power giving that is more interactive and based on society (Khatib et al., 2011, Saiz-Manzanares et al., 2020.
One of the academics who introduced the term new media, but the new media in question is the same as the new media that is known today (Jeganathan and Fleming, 2020). New media in question is the development of communication technology that in history has expanded the reach of human communication. These developments culminated in the era of modern mass media. On the other hand use the term new media to mean something very similar to what is meant by new media today. New communication technologies that produce broad cultural effects are difficult to predict, and disrupt and change the dynamics of human relationships (Syakur, 2017, Saiz-Manzanares et al., 2020. Since the time of McLuhan, the term new media emerged and survived, and has various definitions in accordance with the context of its use. As stated in the book Encyclopedia of New media, there is not a single definitive answer regarding the definition of new media. Even what is called old media and traditional media were once called new media. New media is consistently changing and developing (Syakur, 2019, Saiz-Manzanares et al., 2020.
