| description | The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a profound transformation in the global education system, forcing a sudden shift from face-to-face teaching to online learning. This study aims to understand how students have utilized technology for online learning during the pandemic, focusing on using the internet and smartphones and evaluating the effectiveness of various applications and platforms such as WhatsApp, Zoom, and Learning Management Systems (LMS). A descriptive quantitative research method was employed with a survey technique involving 220 students from Universitas Islam Syekh-Yusuf (UNIS) to gather data on their technology use activities. The findings indicate that UNIS students predominantly use the internet for learning and information-seeking, while smartphones are more frequently used for communication and entertainment. WhatsApp and Zoom are the most commonly used applications for online learning, reflecting a preference for familiar and easily accessible platforms. The study highlights the need for improved digital skills and technology access to support more effective learning. Recommendations include developing technology training for educators, providing better student resources, and integrating online learning models into long-term educational strategies to enhance education quality and flexibility.
