learning outcomes; (2) Several problems emerged on its implementation, namely
poor internet connections, the lack of student internet quotas, and the problem of
direct interaction between teacher and students during virtual meetings; (3) The
solutions were found to overcome network problems and internet quotas is to
make learning video recordings posted on Google Classroom or Telegram so
students can watch them at a later time after having a good internet connection
and sufficient quota, and the provision of Telegram as a forum for indirect
interaction between teachers and students outside of direct interaction in virtual
meetings.
