The purpose of this study is to analyze the need to improve the quality of learning through the use of Learning Objects (LO) on the Learning Management System (LMS) platform. This research is an exploratory descriptive research. The subject of this research is a student of the Business Education Study Program, Economics Education, Accounting Education, and Office Administration Education, Faculty of Economics and Business, State University of Jakarta class of 2023. The sample was randomly selected by 70 students. Data was collected using questionnaires. The results showed that 65.7% of students regularly access LMS and 81.4% of students follow a regular learning schedule in LMS which shows that the integration of LMS in students' learning habits. As many as 70% of students have no difficulty using LMS features, and 81.4% of students feel that LMS can help in self-paced learning that reflects technical readiness and great potential for LO implementation. A total of 67.1% of students stated that LO helps achieve learning goals, although 28.6% of students are neutral, indicating the need for improvement in LO design. The majority of students (91.4%) expect LO to present real and more applicable examples, and 77.1% of students understand the material more easily if it is presented through videos or interactive visuals. On the other hand, learning activities predominantly use conventional media such as PowerPoint, so there is still a gap between the learning media provided and student expectations. Difficulties in understanding the material are mostly caused by the use of monotonous and inappropriate learning media, which emphasizes the importance of developing LO that is interesting, applicative, and in accordance with today's digital learning needs.
