Abstract
The main purpose of the study was to identify teachers' encountered challenges in the implementation of Frog Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) in the classrooms. This qualitative study employed the in-depth interview method for data collection. A purposive sampling of eight teachers were interviewed. An adapted Level of Use Interview Schedule (LoU-IS) was used as the instrument to elicit information on the challenges which teachers encountered in the implementation of Frog VLE. The findings show that the encountered challenges include infrastructural constraints; time constraints; teachers' initiatives; teachers' self efficacy; and teachers' integrity and attitude toward Frog VLE.
