ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 outbreak has forced all courses to be carried out online. This study aims to explain the characteristics of an enjoyable online learning model based on the platform, the content, and the learning strategy for vocational students. Data was collected using closed-ended and open-ended questionnaires which were responded to by 110 students in 2019/2020. The closed-ended questionnaire revealed the most preferred learning elements, and the open-ended questionnaire was to clarify their reasons. The data were arranged sequentially from the quantitative data to the qualitative data. The results of the study showed that: i) The preferred online platforms were Moodle, Google Meet, and WhatsApp. They like Moodle because the content is well structured, Google Meet is easily accessible, and WhatsApp is their daily routine application;ii) The learning content consists of two to three resources namely: 6-10 pages of papers, 11-15 pages PowerPoint, and 6-10 minutes videos. Too much content causes a heavy learning burden;iii) Most students preferred the blended learning strategy. The synchronous lectures for 60-75 minutes can motivate them because they can interact with lecturers and other students. Asynchronous lectures are more flexible that can be done anytime and anywhere so that the students become more independent in their learning. © 2023, Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science.

ABSTRACT
Indonesia implemented the online learning system during COVID-19. These changes were associated with the country's vast and archipelago-shaped area. Therefore, this research aimed to examine online learning publication trend during the pandemic using bibliometric analysis. The results showed that 2021 had the most publications on online learning during the pandemic, with 259. The frequently used keywords included online learning (n = 95), COVID-19 (n = 71), and e-learning (n = 70). Santoso HB had the most publications with 14 documents, while Junus K and Sulisworo D had 7. Jakarta State University had the most publications, including 8 documents, 8 citations, and 23 link strengths. Ahmad Dahlan University had 6 documents, 9 citations, and 1 link strength. Indonesia and Malaysia had the most collaborations with 29 publications. Future research can be developed using motivational learning and the post-COVID-19 school system as keywords. Furthermore, this research provided a thematic trend visualization map for future research to develop educational concepts and policies on online learning, specifically in archipelagic countries such Indonesia. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
This article aims to describe student responses when implementing SFH and provide an outline of six recommendations for the implementation of online learning during COVID-19, with the expectancy that learning under any conditions will continue to run benevolently. This study had a total of 693 participants with 416 (60%) women and 277 (40%) men, with a vulnerable age 17-24 years. In total, 34 universities across Indonesia participated in this study. This study uses online surveys as a method of collecting qualitative research. In this situation, the state, to respond to instruction on integrating online learning during the epidemic in universities, was given recommendations. In order to make conclusions easily understood by researchers and readers, data is organized into categories and described as units. During COVID-19, the Ministry of Education and Culture prepares educational regulations that are socialized via digital media. Online learning rose by 10.3% between COVID-19 and prior. WhatsApp is utilized 38.2% and Google Classroom 34.92%. This article also discusses some student feedback and complaints. The education office and school have strong communication. However, it is vital to adopt national rules connected to online learning that do not burden schools, students, teachers, or parents. Aside from that, the government should work with local and international online education software developers. Ensuring that education continues to run ideally in Indonesia, despite its limitations and issues, by developing a standard operating process for online learning evaluation. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
COVID-19 has an impact on all aspects of life, including education and learning. To ensure that teaching and learning activities continue to run well, teachers are required to master learning media that support online learning. One of the learning media used online is YouTube. Besides being easy to reach, there are currently many learning materials available on YouTube. But the problem is how effective YouTube is as a learning medium, especially for elementary school children. This type of research is qualitative research using a case study approach. The data collection methods used in this study were interviews, questionnaires and documentation. The goal in this study is to explore and find out the effectiveness of YouTube as a learning medium for PAI during the Covid-19 pandemic for elementary school level children. The results of the study showed;(1) Aspect of usefulness, in terms of the usefulness of YouTube, it is said to be effective because it can be used as a learning resource that can support the learning process;(2) Aspect of YouTube accuracy is the right learning media solution so that learning can still run well even during the Covid-19 pandemic;(3) Aspect of the scope of YouTube services is very supportive as a learning medium, especially for PAI learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
As of April 2022, various countries around the world have shown their success in tackling the COVID-19 pandemic, including Indonesia. One of the COVID-19 mitigation policies in Indonesia is the involvement of students as COVID-19 ambassadors through a program called Kampus Mengajar, which carries 12 credits. However, the COVID-19 ambassador experienced academic injustice because the participating study programs and faculties did not recognize the program. The purpose of this research is to analyze the recognition of COVID-19 ambassadors who participate in the program. This research uses a case study-type qualitative research. The research setting is Universitas Ahmad Dahlan involving 70 students of the program and seven heads of faculties and study programs. Observation and in-depth interviews were administered with the head of the faculty and study programs. The results showed that study programs and faculties at universities could only recognize the activities of COVID-19 ambassador students in the program that have relevance to certain subjects. Thus, the higher education unit bureaucracy has lost its human dimension and is unfair to the student ambassadors of COVID-19. The implications of the findings of this study become a scathing critique of the fading of human values in higher education.
