For educators, online learning by studying at home is considered more suitable for assigning tasks that are done online but not effective in delivering material to students. Apart from different infrastructures, not all students have the same technology. The quality of connections, gadgets, and internet quotas which are still expensive are the main obstacles for both educators and students in Indonesian.
