From the tables above, it is known that the value of Sig (2 Tailed) is 0.000
<0.005, it can be stated that there is a significant influence from the application of

varied content in the blended learning environment by students before and after
application. On the other hand, the students who learned using the LD and learning

content developed in this project have better learning outcomes compared to the
result of the previous test with students not using the blended learning design and

content. Therefore, it can be concluded that improved learning outcomes can be

achieved by using LD and learning content that is created by the educators. It is
also shown in existing research that students' absorption of lecture material is

higher when studying in a blended learning environment (Bentri & Rahmi, 2016).

Sustainability & transferability

Technology-based learning activities have great opportunities in future learning.

Learning activities with technology integration such as LMS in tertiary institutions
are increasingly needed. This is caused by changes in the way students learn to be

more independent in gaining knowledge. The design of blended learning-based

learning activities is an activity that will always be needed in creating more
interactive and dynamic learning by students in the future. Therefore,

sustainability in the design of learning activities is also supported by the
development of content that is in accordance with learning objectives and supports

increasingly developing technological features. Blended learning activities through
cross-tertiary institutions in Indonesia are also promoted by the Ministry of
