<p><em>The pandemic that hit the country of Indonesia brought changes in all sectors. Including the world of education. Face-to-face learning is forced to shift to distance learning. This is a challenge for educators and students. Especially for educators, creativity is required in distance learning. The pandemic that occurred in the 21st century demands that teachers be more professional, must not be blind to technology, and must be able to apply and adapt technology in learning. The fact is that not all teachers are technology literate. Therefore it is necessary to conduct training or increase in technology-based teaching competencies. The focus of this study is: 1) The concept and function of Microsoft office 365 in learning; (2) the use of Microsoft Forms and Sway in teaching at Jatiluhur 3 elementary school. The results of the study include: (1) Microsoft Office 365 has various features that are very supportive of learning; (2) The six teachers at Jatiluhur 3 elementary school have used Microsoft Office 365 with the Microsoft form and sway features.</em></p>

This study is intended to explain the legal protection given to elementary school children to get the right to education during the COVID 19 period. Because education for children is a child's right that must be fulfilled as a human right. Moreover, the right to education has been explicitly guaranteed in the Amendment to the 1945 Constitution. For this reason, legal research is carried out with an empirical juridical approach which intends to study and analyze the workings of law in society by using secondary data and primary data. The secondary and primary data collected were analyzed qualitatively, then the results were described. Based on an analysis conducted on research conducted in Firdaus Village, Serdang Bedagai Regency, that the right to education for elementary school children during the COVID 19 period was still being fulfilled despite the prohibition on conducting face-to-face learning processes at schools. The implementation of education is carried out through distance learning meetings in the network and distance learning outside the network. In addition, it was also found that there was limited face-to-face learning. However, the use of this learning method takes into account the development of the COVID-19 situation and also the facilities owned by schools, teachers and the condition of students in participating in learning. Schools and teachers evaluate children's education to determine the learning process that will be used.

So far, face-to-face learning has been the most effective learning model because it has been implemented in schools and has become the main choice to date. The Covid-19 pandemic that has hit various parts of the world in recent months has changed the habits of various aspects of life, including learning at school. The classic face-to-face learning method that has been a mainstay in schools suddenly has to change drastically with the online model. Whatsapp Group and Google Classroom are distance learning media that are familiar and often used. This study aims to compare the learning outcomes of students whose learners use WhatsApp group and those who use Google Classroom. This type of research is a quasi experiment. The research sample was 40 students of class VIII SMPN 1 Rawamerta and divided into two classes of 20 people each for classes using Whatsapp Group and 20 people using Google Classroom. The results showed that learning with Whatsapp Group was better than learning using Google Classroom. However, online learning still has several weaknesses, including poor signal and no internet quota.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.

The importance of maintaining connections and relationships across tertiary education for students is discussed as a way of examining the nature of Pacific education in challenging times, particularly in terms of fractured face-to-face learning. Universities have been thrust into an unpredictable time of remote/distance/online learning in a short period of time. The process has been unsettling and challenging for people across the world. As Pacific students and staff experience the unchartered waters of Covid-19 and global disturbances, they are searching out ways to build purposeful connections, shape-shifting and ways to maintain communities of academic togetherness while harnessing the tools of their knowledge trajectories in research. This article will focus on four key principles: valuing personal and academic connections beyond the textbook; discovering heart-warming methods of connection; and connecting for growth and wellbeing.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reaction of Greeks to this new educational reality due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Since the first restrictive measures were implemented in March 2020in Greece, distance learning has become a dynamic part of people’s daily lives with the prospect of remain in gas such in the future. A total of N=170 students, parents, teachers, civil servants, private sector employees who were involved in the distance learning process either as instructors or as students in the period of Covid-19 pandemic in Greece, were selected with the use of snowball sampling. A questionnaire using demographic and satisfaction related variables was completed by the respondents, namely citizens across Greece, based on a Likert scale questionnaire which is a useful and multidimensional instrument, to assess satisfaction within the time frame from July 7, 2020 to October 20, 2020; the period when there occurred a loosening in the restrictive measures between the two lockdowns in Greece. It was investigated how the demographic factors, specifically gender, age, occupation, and place of residence, influence the attitude of the respondents towards synchronous and asynchronous distance learning as well as their intention to continue using online education services in the future after the lifting of the restrictive measures. Additionally, the customers’ preferences concerning the most enjoyable distance learning experience were examined, so that they will be available to the distance learning program designers. Descriptive statistical analysis and non-parametric statistical hypothesis tests were conducted in SPSS and R. Most of the respondents had not participated in online courses before the Covid-19 outbreak, 46 % did participate in e-learning courses before the Covid-19 lockdown while 54 % did not and 34.1% respondents prefer face-to-face learning, while 15.9% prefer e-learning. Also, 50% respondents prefer a combination of face-to-face learning and e-learning. Hypothesis tests showed that there are statistically significant differences between users’ preferences as well as regarding their demographic characteristics. Undergraduate and postgraduate university students continue to participate in online learning courses and are willing to invest financial resources and time in this new educational process (?2(4)=10.440, p=0.034), unlike high school students who prefer face-to-face learning (p=0.042). The present study will lead to practical implications, such as the formation of e-learning programs which aim for the best user experience and the best learning outcomes. Also, private educational organizations can include the results in the key elements to implementing a strategic marketing mix.

The University Abdou Moumouni (UAM) of Niamey in Niger mainly focused on traditional face to face learning, and even the existence of the African Virtual University since the years 1999 did not change the situation. It is only after the official opening at the University of the Francophone Digital Campus in December 2003 that lecturers and students started overseeing and taking advantages of all the benefits of e-Learning and distance learning. The present paper builds on the author’s personal initiatory experience in e-Learning to highlight some specific challenges that traditional universities such as the UAM face in their efforts to introduce e-Learning and distance learning as a new mode of course delivery. The study shows that even though challenges are big, political and institutional support can freshen the perspectives and change opportunities into realities.
