Starting in the odd semester of 2020/2021, the University of Indraprasta PGRI will provide online or distance learning. Because of government laws on Large-Scale Social Restrictions, online learning is finished. Distance learning has always used technology to apply its knowledge, beginning with the most basic methodology and progressing to the most advanced. According to PDDIKTI 2020, the study sample is 206 of 4106 active students of the Indraprasta PGRI University with language and arts majors in English education. One of the reasons student participation on campus should be a concern is that it is a crucial factor in learning and academic success.
