Disadvantages of blended learning:
1. The media needed is very diverse, making it challenging to implement

if the facilities and infrastructure are not supported.
2. Uneven facilities owned by students, such as computers and internet
access. Whereas in Blended learning, adequate internet access is

needed; if the network is inadequate, it will make it difficult for
participants to follow independent learners online.

3. Lack of public knowledge of the use of technology.
4. Uneven facilities owned by students, such as computers and internet
access.

a. Object-based media

Learning media, which are facilities and infrastructure to support
the implementation of learning activities and support education and
training, certainly need their own attention. Its existence cannot be

simply ignored in the process of education, especially in the learning
process. This is because, without learning media, the implementation
of education will not run well. The development of this media was

initially only considered as a teaching aids tool for teachers (teaching
aids). The tools used are visual aids, namely images, models, objects,
and other devices that can provide concrete experiences and learning

motivation to increase students' absorption and learning outcomes.
However, as the media function becomes very important in the

learning process and is adjusted to the characteristics of students, the
media function can increase students' interests and abilities, choose the
right time, availability of materials in media making, and have good

technical quality. Learning media have many types, each of which has
its own characteristics. Learning media is everything that can be used

to channel the message or content of learning; it can stimulate the
mind, feelings, attention, and abilities of students so that it can
encourage the learning process.
