There are constraints faced by both lecturers and students, such as unstable internet signals and providers in each region, data package costs, delivery of teaching materials, and human resources (HR) who are not yet technologically literate. There is a good impact in the use of e-learning media during the work from home period that students and lecturers feel under conditions and pressures to evolve in the advancement of the use of technology and communication. The bad impact is boredom among new students because they cannot feel the college atmosphere by meeting other students face to face.
