The FROG VLE is the government's initiative to leverage Information and Communications Technology (ICT) usage in all its primary and secondary schools in Malaysia. Through the 1bestarinet Project, the Malaysia Ministry of Education has introduced a virtual system known as the frog-Vogue learning Environment (Frog VLE system) that can be accessed at anytime and from anywhere via the internet. However, the frog VLE system has evidenced with low record of access which indicating teachers and lecturers have not fully utilized this learning facilities. Therefore, this study aims to examine the lectures perception on the application of frog VLE system in teaching and facilitation in vocational college. This study was conducted to identify the lecturers' level of information and literacy skills in using frog VLE system. A quantitative survey design was used that included distribution of questionnaires to 132 respondents. The data obtained were analyzed to find mean score, percentage and inference using the pearson correlation test. Finding indicated that the mean score of lecturer's information level and literacy skill was at moderate level. Pearson correlation analysis shows a positive high correlation between information level and literacy skills towards the application of Frog VLE system in teaching and facilitation (r = 0.772, p > 0.05). Thus, the implication of this research is that more training is needed by vocational college lecturers in order to support the succesfullness of the frog VLE implementation.
