The COVID-19 emergency period changed the education system in Indonesia in a very short time, requiring every student to study remotely. Of course this encourages teachers to innovate and policy makers in this case the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia to make adjustments during the COVID-19 pandemic by changing some rules by issuing circular letter number 2 of 2020 regarding the prevention and handling of COVID-19 in the environment. Ministry of Education and Culture, as well as circular letter number 3 of 2020 regarding the prevention of COVID-19 in education units. The readiness of schools in implementing distance learning received various positive and negative responses from various elements of society. The readiness of teachers in the implementation of online education has not been maximized, this is due to the lack of knowledge in the field of Information Technology. Therefore, to support government policies in implementing distance learning and minimizing the spread of the COVID-19 virus, teachers need to be equipped with e-learning implementation. Teachers are expected to be able to compile learning materials using online e-learning using the Edmodo platform so that teachers are not only fixated on one learning model using conventional models

The state of education in Poland and its functioning was exposed by the coronavirus pandemic which contributed to school closures and enforced a transition to distance learning. There was a need to look for alternative ways of distance education in which teachers played a special role. Some of them had to learn new skills related to distance education at all levels of education in a short time. In the period when schools are closed or their functioning is limited, the competences they possess play an important role in the educational activity of teachers, among which IT and media competences become particularly important. The considerations presented in the article relate to online education, with particular attention to its necessary aspects occurring both on the side of school and students’ homes. A review of studies on remote education during the pandemic has been made.

Restrictive Measures

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 Impact

Kebijakan e-learning yang dilakukan oleh pemerintah Indonesia memberikan pembelajaran dengan memudahkan pendidik membuat media dengan waktu terbatas. Media/aplikasi berbasis internet selain memberikan kemudahan bagi guru, juga akan memberikan warna lain dalam proses pembelajaran. Peserta didik tidak akan mudah merasa bosan saat mendengarkan penjelasan/mengerjakan sesuatu. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan evaluasi penggunaan e-learning di Taman Kanak-kanak di Provinsi Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah analisis kualitatif yang digunakan secara langsung untuk menggambarkan detail narasumber dengan melakukan wawancara mendalam dengan guru di Taman Kanak-kanak di Kabupaten Bantul dan Sleman. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan ini sangat baik dan membantu memfasilitasi semua pihak baik guru maupun siswa. Namun di sisi lain, e-learning masih kurang diminati oleh sebagian pendidik. Pendidik beranggapan bahwa penggunaan aplikasi/media berbasis internet sangat membingungkan. Pendidik akan membutuhkan waktu yang cukup banyak untuk mempelajari cara mengoperasikan komputer/laptop sebelum mereka mulai mengembangkan media pembelajaran. Sedangkan pembelajaran berbasis teknologi di beberapa sekolah termasuk dalam program ekstrakurikuler. Program ini tidak diikuti oleh semua siswa dan terbatas pada pilihan, tidak wajib. Oleh karena itu, dampak penggunaan teknologi dalam proses pembelajaran tidak dapat dirasakan oleh semua siswa. Hanya sedikit siswa yang dapat menggunakan teknologi ini dalam pembelajaran. Kementerian Pendidikan telah menyediakan wadah bagi pendidik untuk mengakses beberapa media pembelajaran berbasis teknologi. Selain Kementerian Pendidikan, pusat pengembangan Taman Kanak-Kanak Provinsi juga telah melaksanakan pendidikan terkait pembelajaran berbasis teknologi di Taman Kanak-Kanak. Namun kurangnya sosialisasi menyebabkan pendidik tidak mendapatkan informasi dan kurang pengetahuan untuk dapat mengaksesnya. The e-learning policy is carried out by the Indonesian government in learning to provide learning by making it easier for educators to create media with limited time. Internet-based media/applications in addition to making it easier for teachers, will also provide other colors in the learning process. Learners will not feel bored easily when listening to explanations/doing something. This study aims to explain the evaluation of the using of e-learning in the kindergartens in Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia. The method that is applied for this study is a qualitative analysis which uses directly to portray the detail interviewees by conducting an in-depth interview with the teachers in kindergartens in Bantul and Sleman districts. The results of this study indicate that this policy is very good and helps facilitate all parties both teachers and students. However, on the other hand, e-learning is apparently still lacking interest by some educators. Educators assume that the use of application/internet-based media is very confusing. Educators will need a considerable amount of time to learn how to operate a computer/laptop before they begin to develop learning media. On the other hand, technology-based learning in several schools is included in the extracurricular program. This program is not attended by all students and is limited to optional, not mandatory. Therefore, that the impact of the use of technology in the learning process cannot be felt by all students. Only a few students are able to use this technology in learning. The Ministry of Education has provided a platform for educators to access some technology-based learning media. In addition to the Ministry of Education, the Provincial Kindergartens development center has also conducted education related to technology-based learning in kindergartens. However, the lack of socialization causes educators not to get information and lack the knowledge to be able to access it.

Online Distance

Research into the design, delivery, support, and administration of Online Distance Learning (ODL) programmes in higher education is developing but still nascent with theories and discourses from many areas of traditional education being examined and developed to address the particular affordances of online education. Whilst debate continues about the procurement of and best application of educational technologies and systems, one aspect of the debate seems clear, that the technology and content alone is not “e-learning.” Directing someone to an online repository does not mean learning will necessarily take place. Whilst the technology and the content are essential, both are important only insofar as the affordances they provide for learning to take place. Using empirical evidence, this chapter argues that the actions of the tutor are therefore pivotal in an educational environment where the learning process is directed at more than simply accessing information.

Given the increasing number of available e-learning platforms, individuals are now able to pursue degrees and courses through an online modality. As a result, education has proliferated to include individuals from varying cultural groups, age distributions, and occupational qualifications. With the inclusion of a wide variety of groups, multicultural considerations are critical. However, from a multiculturalist and poststructaralist perspective, conventional models of multiculturalism are considered essentialist and often fastened by tradition rather than dynamic and continuously evolving practices. In this paper, the authors will apply multiculturalism to online education; present a critical perspective; and finally demonstrate a novel, dynamic and adaptable model that uses a poststructuralist viewpoint in order to meet the multicultural needs of the online student of today and possibly tomorrow. This model is derived from the key strengths of the Social Ecological Model, Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, and Kolb's learning styles.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly changed people's lives around the world. Thousands of millions of people around the world must stay at home to protect and prevent Covid-19 transmission. Covid-19 cases in children have also increased even though the prevalence rate is still lower than adult cases.The government through the Ministry of Education and Culture made recommendations during the Covid-19 pandemic to conduct distance / online learning, so that the teaching and learning process can still take place even though you don't have to come to school. This requires a separate adaptation process for the continuity of online learning to run well, with digital media as a learning tool. Screen time or staring at the screen for children has a recommended time limit, because if it is used beyond the safe time it will have a serious impact on the child's health and development. It takes the role of parents, teachers / schools, the community, and policy makers to oversee the process of using digital media in distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic.In conclusion, the use of digital media during the pandemic is increasing, especially for children, apart from being a medium for distance learning as well as a medium for entertainment. This must be properly monitored by parents, teachers / schools, the community, and policy makers so that the adverse effects of using digital media do not occur according to WHO / IDAI recommendations.

The accessing changes in the world order provoke fields such as education, work, and in general human lives. The pandemic caused by the spread of Covid-19 affected an extremely large part of the Earth, including the Republic of Bulgaria. Pupils and students had to switch to distance learning, being more precise go-to distance learning in an electronic environment. This was unexpected for us all - parents, students, and especially teachers. The teachers are the ones who have extremely difficult task of dealing in a very short time with the selection of (and possibly acquaintance with) appropriate software, as well as to master information and communication technologies, in most cases, and they may have never been trained in. This situation also provoked the study, which found a place in this report. It was targeted at the very beginning of the forced isolation, including the closure of educational institutions, in the Republic of Bulgaria - in the period from March 18 to April 10, 2020. A logical choice in this state of emergency was the way of conducting it - an electronic survey.

Background: Current research and the bibliography suggest that both synchronous and asynchronous distance education in the early years of education is a new era to explore the teaching of young children. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the extent of use of online classroom platforms in early years, both in the private and public sector, and to correlate parents' attitudes towards children’s behavioral changes during the pandemic lockdown in Greece. Methodology: The participants were 216 parents with preschool-aged children (between 2:6 to 4:0 years) in Greek pre-school settings in two cities of North and West Greece. A questionnaire on the use of ICT during the pandemic Covid -19 and its’ outcomes was distributed online to all parents. The parents' perception was generally negative and was not preferred to frontal teaching, while they were not satisfied with the results. Results: A remarkable percentage of children did not participate in online education due to their parents' attitude on the appropriateness of their age to participate in online education. However, the deterrent attitude of parents was not related to their level of education and willingness to help their children. The parents' perception was generally negative and was not preferred to frontal teaching, while they were not satisfied with the results. As far as the implementation of distance education is concerned, private broadcasters have introduced more synchronous distance education compared to public ones. Finally, there were positive correlations between asynchronous distance learning of 1-3 hours per day and children's irritability, as well as feelings of stress and anxiety and asynchronous distance learning of more than 6 hours per day. The correlation between children's distraction and asynchronous distance learning for 1-3 hours per day was negative. Conclusion: Further discussions for policy makers and teachers are planned.
