The Future of Online Learning in the Post-COVID-19 Era
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a rapid move to online learning in schools across Indonesia. However, responses to online learning vary widely. With the hasty move to remote study, most parents worry about missing out on learning, while others have experienced benefits. With the fall in the affected cases, many students and parents expected schools to return to face-to-face learning. However, digital literacy must be maintained considering its importance in preparing students for future challenges. This study discusses whether online learning methods can be supported post-COVID-19? A systematic literature review was carried out to address this issue by documenting and reviewing all articles related to post-pandemic learning design for the period 2019–2021. The articles used in this study are 21 nationally and internationally accredited journal articles accessed from lens.org, Google Scholar, Research Gate, and DOAJ. Results proved that online learning can be modified and combined with offline learning into a blended learning method, which can be adopted and utilized by schools post-COVID-19.
