Abstract

The implementation of online learning evaluations is better choice during the Covid 19 pandemic. Hence, this study aimed to describe the profiles and perceptions of lecturers and students at Universitas Samawa regarding online learning evaluations in the even semester of 2019/2020 academic year. This study applied a survey method involving lecturers and students as the respondents representing all faculties at Universitas Samawa. The data were obtained from questionnaires using the Google form application and from focus group discussion. The data were analyzed descriptively. The survey results showed that online learning evaluations used several platforms wherein WhatsApp was the most dominant platform chosen by lecturers. The obstacles that most often arose during evaluations of online learning outcomes were the problem of internet connection and the level of students' understanding of the tested materials. Lecturers and students agreed that online evaluations were not easier to do, not more effective, not more interesting, and not fully accessible compared to face-to-face evaluations. The advantages of online learning evaluations according to lecturers and students are that the scoring was perceived to be more objective, and online learning evaluations were considered as capable of increasing creativity and training students' thinking skills.
