E-learning Readiness in University of Lampung during Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This paper focuses on the state of readiness of Indonesian higher education to integrate online courses, particularly during study from home as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The case study was carried out at the University of Lampung (Unila), one of the state universities of Indonesia. The result shows the rapid increase in the number of visitors to Unila's learning management system during the beginning of studies from home regulations. The Aydin and Tasci E-learning Readiness (ELR) method is used to assess Unila's readiness to implement the online course. The study is also important to show the Unila readiness to support Merdeka Belajar regulation issued by the Ministry of Education and Culture (MOEC) of Indonesia. The result shows that the average ELR score is 4.43. This result indicates that Unila is in a state of readiness for the implementation of e-learning, and the application of e-learning can be continued. However, several things can be improved, especially with regard to ELR factors which have lower scores.
