As a result, technology, economics, learning and assignments become the obstacles experienced during their online learning. In addition, technological innovation and acceptance of online learning become the opportunities after the existence of the online learning. The covid-19 pandemic encourages researchers and innovators to innovate and develop research in the health and technology fields so that the entire system can survive the Covid-19 pandemic.
