EXPLORING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ONLINE LEARNING PROGRAM FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LEARNERS IN REMOTE AREA

This research is intended to explore students who follow the online learning program called Recognition of Prior Learning in Remote Area. A qualitative descriptive method was conducted to gain the data. After spreading the questionnaire as the instrument of the study, the result shows that students' motivation must be maintained after the first meeting of the class; students' autonomous learning does not activate automatically even when the teachers use online learning platform; teachers' instruction must be vividly stated: there is an instruction that insists them to open the platform outside the learning period. Students' English proficiency also seems not to show a positive vibe. Stakeholders of the program are advised to do training on the lecturer before running the program in a remote area, to mitigate the discrepancy of the learning system of the platform used. Teachers are boosted to have clear instruction to mitigate time and space constraints in online learning activities.
