Abstract

Many people are accustomed to learning in the classroom, learning that does not require physical space or learning online is a new thing for students, both students and students, this certainly requires time to get used to carrying out the learning process online. One of the main aspects that influences the shift from face-to-face learning (offline/traditional) to online learning (online) is communication. The teaching model that is implemented traditionally means that the learning process is carried out face-to-face, where students and educators carry out the learning process in the classroom with a predetermined schedule. Educators who are known as teachers must do their best to ensure the effectiveness of the same communication in online learning.
