<![CDATA[This article reports an ongoing research on a digital-based blended learning model applied to improve learning quality at SMP Negeri 1 Wewewa Timur, Southwest Sumba, East Nusa Tenggara. The study is qualitative descriptive; teachers and students are selected purposively, and field data are to be collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model with triangulation. The digital medium is a mobile-first learning management system named LENTERA, developed with the ADDIE framework using PHP CodeIgniter 4 and MySQL. The analysis and design stages produced a blended learning scheme combining face-to-face and online sessions, while the development stage produced role-based features for materials, assignments, quizzes, attendance, mentoring, gradebooks, announcements, and a parent portal. The media were approved by the supervisors after demonstration. Functional verification through black-box testing in a real browser showed that all 18 relevant scenarios passed, covering authentication, access control, assignment submission, oversized-file rejection, automatic quiz scoring, grade entry, attendance, and mobile display; one scenario on a discussion feature was not relevant because the application lacks it. Classroom implementation and field data collection are the next stage; this article does not claim any improvement in learning outcomes yet.]]>
