Abstract

The aim of this study was to explore the use of distance learning in Indonesian universities during the pandemic. This was a continuation of previous research on the implementation of Digital Learning in several countries as an Emergency Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Given the uncertainty surrounding the end of the pandemic, as well as government regulations expanding the use of distance learning, researchers believe it is crucial to examine student attitudes toward implementation. In this study, the comparative study method was used to compare the similarities and differences between two or more properties and facts of the object under study based on a particular frame of mind. The findings indicate that there are similarities in the implementation of distance learning, which involves transforming face-to-face sessions in a classroom setting into live face-to-face sessions in virtual classrooms. The initiatives of each university are in line with government recommendations. The implementation, however, varies slightly due to differences in characteristics such as facility and infrastructure readiness that exist on each of these campuses. Further research focusing on Student Engagement and Student Experience, using larger data sets, would be expected to provide much more value and best practices for E-Learning implementation during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Summary

Introduction

An educational paradigm has evolved in which information technology is used as a vehicle for scientific elaboration, either through the process of learning, academic, or research. Digital learning is one of the innovative learning techniques made possible by technology, or one of the effective learning practices that make use of technology (Blayone et al, 2017). Acitya: Journal of Teaching & Education Vol 4 No 1 2022 involvement, but rather assists humans in leveraging performance improvement of an effective learning process. Blended Learning, a combination of digital and traditional or classroom learning, has appeared as one of the solutions. Blended Learning utilizes information technology in digital learning system which is the process of teaching and learning by utilizing information technology for the delivery of material, discussion and work on the problem anywhere and anytime without time limitation, by exploiting Internet (Luckin et al, 2012)
