During the pandemic, Indonesia implemented an online learning system where this method was something new for Indonesia itself. As a teacher or lecturer at the forefront of learning, you must prepare how online learning can be as effective as face-to-face learning. The purpose of this counseling is to find out students' understanding of effective communication and provide insight into effective communication in online learning so that students are able to understand the messages conveyed by the teacher.
