Abstract
This paper examines the students' opinions in using university-provided online LMS platform based on their performative online data, a survey, a focus group and individual interviews, and the researcher's emic views in utilizing it in class as a supplementary tool. Thirty-eight students who were on the teacher certification track or interested in teaching English took two ELT courses and were guided to use the school online campus system (OCS) for various learning activities and assignments. The results shows that there was a low rate of participation in the OCS because of the heavy course load and rather non-compulsory nature of using it. However, despite rather ambivalent views on the collaborative work online and saving time when using the OCS, the students were well aware of effectiveness and benefits of using online. The analysis of the survey data also shows moderate or strong correlations at the significance level of p<0.01 between the factors such as time-saving and future enrollment, online effectiveness and more online courses, and online effectiveness and future enrollment. These results suggest that, instead of the naive belief in the potential benefits of ICT, CMC, or other online tools, EFL practitioners probably need to carefully assess students' attitudes on the use of such tools and constantly contextualize the use of any online program whether in a blended or complementary format.
