Online Learning in Covid-19 Era

We live in era where online learning is the national activity. Since the covid-19 come to Indonesia, we cannot meet many people. So, we must do online learning in our home. Many people think this action is good for our live because it will more efective to learn than we meet with others. Not only that, many people also think that this activity makes us have much quality time with our family. However, Online learning makes many people feel stress.

            People feel stress because they have to be able using many kind technologies. Maybe for some people it's easy to using any kind of techlogy, but for some people who seldom or never using technology such as smartphone, it will be very hard. Some people who always using many kinds of technology in their smartphone maybe never feeling hard to do it, maybe many people will say, "Try to learn the application, or try to understand how to using the programme!" but, for people who using this for the first time, it will be very hard. Many people who live in rural areas will find it difficult to learn, even though it has been taught at the beginning but if some problems happen, they will certainly be confused.

Online learning spends a lot of costs. Many people feel stress because have to buy an internet package in order to follow the learning online. For people who can afford to buy internet packages whenever they want, it may not feel any difficulties, such as the rich people, they will not be confused and stress. Not everyone can buy internet packages when they want. This is because in such conditions, some finances are greatly reduced, many efforts are not goog enough, there are some people lose their job, it causes them stress because it is not able to buy internet packages.

Some people feel stressed because it is difficult to understand the lessons online. Everyone has the ability to understand different lessons, not all of them can understand when online classes. If students are not able to understand the lessons when online classes, they can study it again after the online class is completed, because in general some lessons can still be downloaded. Although the lessons can be downloaded, but still if the person is not able to master the lesson, it will make the student become stressed, because if they do not understand the lesson, they will struggle to work on the task given by the teacher or lecturer to them. This will happen to students who do not have intelligence like any other friends, or maybe students who are in an inland village, which is very difficult to understand the material.

Eventhough every people have different opinion about online learning, Online learning still makes many people feel stress. You can see many people uploaded in their social media; how so stress they are. I hope this disaster get well soon, so we don't need to do this online learning anymore. Even for some people it is an interesting to do, but I think it makes many people feel stress. So, what do think and what do you feel about online learning, does it make you feel stress or not? Think twice before you answer it.
