Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, learning activities were suspended to reduce the number of viruses spread in Bali, Indonesia. During that time, students got little learning experience so there was a lot of learning lost. The policy taken is to shift learning to online learning. This study aims to determine students' perceptions of the use of Google Classroom as a learning platform in facilitating students during online learning. This research is survey research using in depth interview which was participated by 10 university students in Singaraja. The results of the study indicate that students feel that learning is more organized and learning needs can be accommodated. However, students think that the lack of support from internet signals sometimes hinders learning and discussion when using Google Classroom. The results of this study have the implication that a learning platform such as Google Classroom is needed to support the teaching and learning process.
