APPLICATION OF E-LEARNING IN THE COVID PANDEMIC 19

The impact of the corona virus encourages educational institutions at the elementary-PT level (universities) to stop routine learning in class (lectures) by face to face, and replace it with the process of distance education (online). In the online learning process, this requires information technology facilities and one of them is e-learning. E-learning is information and communication technology to enable students to learn anytime and anywhere (Dahiya, 2016). In general, e-learning has two types, synchronous and asynchronous. First Synchronous means at the same time. The learning process takes place at the same time between the teacher and students (students, students). This allows direct interaction between educators and students on line. In its implementation, synchronous training requires educators and students to access the internet simultaneously. Teachers provide learning material in the form of papers or presentation slides and students can listen to presentations directly through the internet. Students can also ask questions or comments directly or via chat to the lecturer. Synchronous training is a picture of a real class, but is virtual (virtual) and all students are connected via the internet. Synchronous training is often also referred to as virtual classroom (Akhmaloka, 2018).

Both Asynchronous means not at the same time. Students can take different learning time with the teacher who provides the material. Students (students, students) can access learning materials anywhere and anytime from the web site and e-library according to the topics discussed. Learning can take the form of reading, animation, simulation, educational games, tests, quizzes and task collection.

Table 1 shows some of the applications available to support the online teaching and learning process. From field observations it is known that the learning process in high school and tertiary institutions in Denpasar, Bali, in the current situation of threat 19, some educators (especially lecturers and students) still use WA technology and email in coordinating related learning materials. They also use the e library to look for references that are needed according to the topic of the lesson (lecture) that is being discussed.

There is also a learning process carried out in the form of online classes - where educators interact directly with students online (teleconference). In this Synchronous training learning the Zoom application is used, a video conferencing device (video call with many audiences). Educators can also display what is on a laptop screen (screen sharing) to students. The free zoom is only 40 minutes long with a maximum of 100 participants. In addition to zooming, Google Meet and Webex can be an educational choice in delivering material to students live (Soziduhu, 2019).

a. Management of E-learning

According to Hanum (2013), management of e-learning includes several things, namely learning planning, design and manufacturing of materials, delivery of learning and evaluation of learning. First, learning planning is basically a picture of some of the activities and actions that will be taken during the learning process. E-learning based learning planning applications contain plans, estimates and a general description of learning activities using computer networks, both intranet and internet. The scope of learning planning includes four main components, namely objectives, teaching materials or materials, teaching and learning activities, and evaluation.

Second, the design and manufacture of teaching materials. In the learning process content or teaching material plays an important role because it is directly related to the learning process of participants (students). Teaching material is an object of learning that is one of the parameters of the success of e-learning through the type, content and weight of teaching material. In this connection it should be noted that in the e-learning system must be included:

a. provide teaching material (content) that is teacher-centered namely instructional content that is procedural, declarative and well-defined and clear,

b. teaching materials are learner-centered, i.e. the content that presents the results (instructional) outcomes from instructional that are focused on developing creativity and maximizing independence

c. provide work examples on content material to facilitate understanding and provide opportunities for practice

d. adding content in the form of educational games as a medium for practicing assisting questions (Ristekdikti. 2018).
