Since December 2019, the world and Indonesia have fought a major disaster, namely the Covid-19 virus pandemic. With the rapid spread or transmission of the virus, the Indonesian government decided to impose social distancing or social restrictions that impacted the education sector. Students and lecturers cannot conduct lectures face-to-face in class or laboratory, but lectures must be conducted online. For that, we need an open-source system developed by the campus in carrying out online courses. This application was developed using cloud technology and JITSI as an open-source video-conferencing application. In this study, testing of the features that exist in video conferencing and resource usage on the server is carried out. The results of feature testing on the application run as expected with several important features used for learning such as chat, share screen, recording features that can run optimally. The result tested the system resources based on the number of participants, 31 participants with an average use of 2.1GB RAM and 78 participants with an average RAM usage of 2.8GB.

Due to the threat posed by COVID-19, many colleges and universities around the world opted to switch to online courses and smart working to keep their students, professors, and staff safe during the pandemic emergency. Face-to-face classes, including labs and workshops, have been canceled and substituted with online activities. New administrative procedures have also been established to support the emergency remote education. This article analyzes these changes in light of the experiences of three higher education institutions in different countries, namely Latvia, Poland, and Italy. From this analysis, some aspects have emerged that have stimulated a deeper reflection on the use of digital technology in higher education. .

The use of video conferencing technology is increasing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bigbluebutton and jitsi are examples of open source video conferencing platforms that can be installed on their own servers. The server is created using a cloud-based virtual machine. Analysis of quality of service which includes delay, packet loss, throughput, and jitter is needed to determine the quality of service and the comparison of the two platforms. Observations were also made on the use of CPU, memory / RAM, and disk usage for each server. There are 3 test scenarios carried out. Each scenario is carried out on each existing VM specification. From this test, it is known that in the delay parameter, the highest bigbluebutton is obtained, which is 35,35 ms. And then the highest jitsi delay is 17,66 ms. In packet loss parameters, jitsi obtained the highest yield, namely 0,29%, while for bigbluebutton only 0,16% of packet loss was the highest. Throughput, bigbluebutton and jitsi all got very bad results. However, bigbluebutton obtained better results, namely, the highest throughput was 5.6%. While Jitsi obtained the highest throughput, namely 2,8%. Whereas for the jitter parameter, jitsi obtained 0,00 ms results on all tests in each VM. Meanwhile, bigbluebutton, get 0,1 ms on test 3 on VM 1

In 2020, the world was plagued by a pandemic that demanded the social isolation of people from all over the planet to prevent the rapid spread and overcrowding of hospitals. In the educational field, face-to-face classes have been suspended in more than 150 countries. Some institutions started to use technological resources to offer remote education. The pandemic highlighted issues such as the unpreparedness of education systems and teachers, inequalities in access to the internet and students' computers, among others. Considering that technologies have been part of the daily life of schools for more than 30 years, in this atypical moment there is a strangeness among teachers in their improvised use with their students. This article aims to reflect what this pandemic situation has taught us about online education in Brazil and the perspectives that we can see in this field in the post-pandemic scenario.

Aim/Purpose: To investigate anxiety in online courses and its relationship with overall online courses satisfaction as it may vary with online courses experience. Background: Delivering online courses in higher education institutions continue to increase. Anxieties seem to be persistent. Although there are many technology and internet related anxieties studies, online courses anxieties are relatively scarce. The cause for this anxiety has not been resolved or addressed sufficiently. This study takes part in this quest. Methodology: A fully online course with not face to face interaction was used for the study. A survey methodology approach was used for the anxiety scale measurements. Over 1400 students participated in the survey. Contribution: Students taking online courses continue to be challenged with anxieties. Their experiences (number of courses taken) with online courses may influence their anxieties and satisfaction levels, but that has not been studies. We contribute to this body of literature. Findings: One third of students reported to continue to experience anxiety while taking their online courses. The effect of their anxieties on their satisfaction does not seem to be influenced by their online course experience. Recommendations for Practitioners: Focus on the various elements that may influence anxieties and satisfaction of students while taking courses. For IT designers, interface and point of interactions may be the aspect to pay attention to, while professors would need to consider course pedagogy and its interaction within the IT learning environment. Recommendation for Researchers: Anxiety in online learning should take front stage as it represents an underlying stream of influence on all research in the field. Further study of the effect of online course experience on satisfaction and anxiety is necessary. Impact on Society: Anxiety in learning has many detrimental effects that last a student’s career and personality over their entire life. The impact of reducing anxieties while online learning is significant and tangible especially that online learning is at its initial stages of an exponential growth and will change the world sooner than later. Future Research: Pedagogy for efficient and effective online courses to reduce anxieties and in-crease satisfaction.

This article aims to describe the strategies used by Islamic Religious Education teachers in instilling religious values ​​when teaching students in the midst of a pandemic that is currently sweeping the world.  This causes the learning system that is usually done directly or face-to-face to become online.  This study uses a qualitative method, which describes the facts and phenomena that occur in the field.  The Covid-19 virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has a very rapid spread and has an impact on the whole world, one of which is Indonesia.  The State Civil Apparatus (ASN) as well as strata of society feel the consequences themselves, especially in the field of education, which causes schools to carry out the learning process at home or online.  PAI teachers as educators must rack their brains about strategies in teaching students which are usually carried out face-to-face to online or online.  In order to respond to this, there is a solution to what teachers can do, namely by using the WhatsApp media.  With WhatsApp that is easy to access, it is hoped that teachers in delivering learning can be accepted and understood and do not reduce in terms of instilling religious values ​​of students.

Face-to-Face: The Persistent Power of Cities In a Post-Pandemic Era, is about the way that people and firms are adapting to the world of always-on and everywhere digital access, and what that means for cities and regions. Twenty years after The Death of Distance—and in the midst of a pandemic that has led some to question the future of cities—many people still think that we are on track for ‘business anywhere’. The book shows why that's not the case, and provides a structure for thinking about the next twenty years of social and economic upheaval. It shows how the changing fortunes of cities are tied to the ongoing importance of face-to-face contact to our most valuable industries, and thus why the ‘human touch’ will continue to be crucial in the cities of tomorrow. Drawing on interviews with artists and advertisers, bankers and bakers, software devs and property developers, across some forty interviews we home in on what people actually do and why. ‘Contact’, in all its forms, is shown to still matter hugely to companies and individuals, even in a world with high-quality video conferencing and free online calling. And when the pandemic hit, a further digital survey explored interviewees’ experiences of an ‘e-only’ world, gaining ‘front-line’ insights into the short- and long-terms. The book seeks to provide guidance for city leaders, businesses, policymakers and students of urban and regional planning on how to think about 21st Century urban change.

The rapid spread of COVID-19 virus all over the world has a devastating effect on the dental practices. As the COVID-19 virus wreaks havoc with the health care system, teledentistry is stepping up into the spot light and helps in bridging the gap between the people and the dentists. Thus many oral health related problems can be solved virtually via video conferencing or by simple telephone conversation.

Group cohesion, defined simply as the feeling of camaraderie and shared goals among the members of a class, is a fundamental goal of language teachers in Japan and around the world. The body of work on group cohesion in face-to-face classes is fairly extensive, but as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, the majority of university educators in Japan were forced to shift to some form of distance learning. This study considers the issue of how instructors were able to create and maintain group cohesion in online courses, and to what extent face-to-face classes could be replicated online. Twenty-seven university instructors responded to the survey, which consisted of several open-ended questions. The results of that survey are reported here, along with recommendations the researchers were able to assemble based on survey feedback. 集団の結束力とは、端的に言って、生徒が友情を構築し目標を共有することと定義されるが、それは日本および世界中の語学教員の目標である。対面授業における集団の結束力に関する研究はかなり広範囲に及ぶが、コロナウイルスの大流行の結果、日本の大学教育者の大多数は何らかの遠隔教育を余儀なくされた。本論は、大学教員がオンライン授業で集団の結束力をどのように固め、維持することができたのか、また、対面式の授業をオンラインでどの程度再現できるのかという問題について検討した。27名の大学教員が、いくつかの自由記述の質問からなる調査に回答した。本論はその調査結果と、それに基づく提言を提示する
