which was education. The education world also feels the impact. Educators must ensure that teaching and
learning activities continue, even if students are at home. The solution, educators are required to design learning
media as innovation by utilizing online media. This is in accordance with the Minister of Education and Culture
of the Republic of Indonesia in connection with Circular Number 4 of 2020 concerning the Implementation of
Education Policy in the Emergency Spread of Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19). The learning system is
implemented through a personal computer (PC) or laptop connected to an internet network connection.
Educators can do learning together at the same time using groups on social media such as WhatsApp (WA),
telegram, instagram, zoom applications or other media as learning media. Thus, educators can ensure students
participate in learning at the same time, even in different places. Educators can also provide measurable tasks in
