The objectives of this study are 1) To identify how the learning system is during the COVID-19 pandemic, 2) To find out how the implementation of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic is in SIKL, and 3) To find out the advantages and disadvantages of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic in SIKL. This study uses a qualitative method, the research subjects are teachers and principals.

The results of the study indicate that online learning is carried out as an effort to study at home (BDR) to break the spread of COVID-19 requiring teacher creativity and parental guidance, the implementation of online learning in SIKL is realized in the form of a digital system such as a blueprint, superior programs and feedback reports from parents, online learning in SIKL has advantages in terms of implementing a digital system, superior programs, and feedback reports from parents and has disadvantages in terms of limited internet access and student boredom in learning. It is concluded that the community only utilizes information and communication technology to continue carrying out activities because the facilities and features of only information and communication technology have advantages and are easy to use by various groups of people. The results of this study are that students and children of vocational schools and junior high schools can utilize technology independently to facilitate a more effective and efficient learning process.
