Abstract

It has been a year since the pandemic has become a polemic in various fields including education. During the pandemic, online learning is needed to support the running of teaching and learning activities. In this study researchers used quantitative methods to find out whether GC is an efficient and appropriate online learning medium during the pandemic. Researchers used a sample of 50 students; including 25 students of 4th semester and 25 students of 6th semester in English Department of Universitas Pekalongan. This reseach indicates that 28 % students chose google classroom as the most effective online learning platform meanwhile 72 % choose other platfroms. Blended learning by using Google Classroom is thus suggested as the solution for learning in the pandemic time.
