Given the intensified number of online learning activities and having inadequate knowledge to identify the details of how it was organized within increased students’ language learning ability; this study focused on identifying the students’ perceptions of learning in two different situations. This study investigated how students perceived working in a new learning mode (online learning activity) compared to the traditional or face-to-face learning mode (offline learning activity) in regards to the learning frameworks, including the depth and comprehensiveness of learning, appropriate length for learning, comfortability of learning, and flexibility of learning. Ten students were selected to be the participants of the current study; all of whom were sixth and eighth semester students at the Department of English Language Education of Universitas Islam Negeri Ar-Raniry Banda Aceh. They were served by several questions related to their experiences working on two different learning modes. The findings revealed that working in offline learning mode was still the common preference among the students and only a few of them preferred online learning. Even more interesting was the finding of one or two students who perceived no differences between participating in offline and online class learning activities. In addition, the findings also indicated that interaction between the course instructors and students still becomes a prominent element on the students’ satisfaction and comfort of learning. The students also suggested that the keys to their satisfactory learning experiences are access to learning materials and to their class instructors. To conclude, this study also provides new insights on what matters the most to the students’ learning experiences with respect to the current online learning trend.

The Covid-19 pandemic has changed face-to-face (offline) learning into online learning. This requires teachers to be able to adapt to utilizing technology-based learning media. Meanwhile, at the same time, teachers are not used to and have not been able to use various technology-based media in learning. One of the media that could be used is the wordwall application. This application is considered suitable because the appearance and operation are quite simple. In addition, this application can also be used as a learning media, a learning resource, and an assessment instrument. Therefore, training activities and mentoring in the implementation of wordwall applications in learning mathematics is one of the important and urgent needs for teachers today, especially in SD Inpres Maulafa, East Nusa Tenggara. This activity is carried out in training and mentoring through the material presentation, discussion, demonstrations and simulations, working in the group, and assistance. This activity showed that the participants were enthusiastic, active, and participative in participating in the training and mentoring. In addition, this activity can help participants overcome problems in designing thematic lessons. This activity can also increase teachers' knowledge about the application of technology to create learning media in the form of innovative elementary mathematics online learning media, namely through technical training in making learning media with wordwall applications in mathematics learning for teachers. Furthermore, this activity has also been able to increase the insight and ability of teachers to implement media in learning activities, namely through assistance in making learning designs using wordwall applications and assistance in implementing (strategy) learning using wordwall media

The study from home policy was implemented to reduce crowds as an effort to suppress the spread of Covid-19. All levels of education were asked to learn from home, guided and facilitated by educators and educational institutions. Ideally, the learning process should run smoothly even though learning activities are carried out online. However, the shift in learning modes from face-to-face to online has created many learning problems. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the implemention of online learning models in Indonesia. This was a descriptive study and a quantitative approach was used. Data were collected online using a questionnaire. Data were analyzed interactively through three components of analysis, namely data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions or verification. Based on the results, it was found that the implementation of online learning was effective. 100% of the lecturers implemented online learning using LMS, of which 86.67% were skilled at using the LMS platform in carrying out online learning. The lecturers used various strategies to organize learning, including integrating cognitive materials in core activities to improve student preparation, involvement and independence in online learning activities. In addition, 50% of the lecturers have conducted student satisfaction surveys on online learning. Keywords: effectiveness, learning model, online learning

Although the use of online learning properly through video conferences, due to the limitations of the facilities and quotas available on the part of students and parents, this online learning activity was replaced by the provision of non-face-to-face assignments using the WA app. With this method of learning, although not online, it can overcome various music learning activities that remained carried out during the pandemic. With this kind of learning, the goal of achieving the goal of learning is only in the field of appreciation towards singing unisono only, because the target goal of learning practice is difficult to achieve.Keywords: Learning Methods; Non Face-to-Face; Singing Unisono

Teaching and learning process since the pandemic time has shifted away from the traditional face to face classroom into online distance learning, and this will be undergo in the post pandemic. This case study aimed to investigate the effectiveness use of the combined modes of synchronous and asynchronous in e- language learning for university students. While both types of that learning approach have its importance in different scenario. The research questions to be answered in the study was how the adoption of synchronous (discussion activity platform) and asynchronous (learning content platform) would be more effective in e- language learning. 55 university participants from the second semester of English Department who joined the online creative writing class in synchronous and asynchronous language learning activity received the survey questionnaire as the sampling of the collected data. The data from the interview was also obtained to get the learners insights regarding the course experiences.The results showed that the applying of the combination approach in online learning has been greatly effective in helping the learners in terms of the community interaction and  material engagement. Moreover, the learners’ response about the using blended mode of synchronous and asynchronous for their learning is very positive. Some suggestions to enfold the problems over the online learning  are also provided.

COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of learning in higher education. Teaching, and learning activities that are usually carried out with face-to-face meetings have turned into virtual meetings in various online learning applications. This paper aims to analyze student essays in the form of perspectives or responses about the challenges of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper collected fifteen students as samples in the Fundamentals of Education I course who were actively involved in online learning activities. Online learning provides various instructions led by the lecturer. Instructions can be synchronous (communication where participants interact in the same time space as video conferencing, zoom, google meet, and WebEx) or asynchronous (time-separated communication such as e-mail, google form, streaming video content, posting lecture notes and social media platforms). This study used a qualitative approach. The researcher then collecting, reading and highlights each student's response that is considered relevant for analysis. This paper has shown so many responses about the challenges experienced by the students while studying online, such as, positive and negative impact of online learning, economic conditions, anxiety during online learning, government should think and planned, the risk of user data security, face-to-face class to online learning, ability, finding effective online learning media.
