1. Introduction
When Corona virus became an outbreak, it has brought either the good and the bad effects. The
bad effect, as everyone knows, was the terror of death which was that frightening. The sound of
ambulance was heard minute to minute. At the same time, the news of the dead relatives or
neighbors or even family came one by one. People became prisoners in their own house due to the
policy of Staying at Home released by our government. Therefore, they had to carry out all of their
activities from home. This condition caused many changes in every aspect of human life including
the education sector. Government through its Ministry of Education and Culture had released online
learning policy during the pandemic. (kemdikbud, 2020). Since then, this rule has made either
teachers or students from early childhood education level to universities have to run online teaching
and learning process. This has made a new transformation in education world from the traditional
learning method (face-to-face) into e-learning in which the process is carried out by using
technology. Applications like Google Classroom, Edmondo, Zoom and other social media are used
by either teachers or lecturers in their class, even WhatsApp group. There were many challenges
especially those who haven’t got experience in using technologies before. However, day by day,
time by time they finally can adapt to the situation and run the class well. This is actually what is
called as innovation in education world. (Fitriyani, 2022)
STMIK Sinar Nusantara as one of high schools of Information Technology surely adapts to this
condition. Even actually, it has started using e-learning several years before pandemic came. The
lecturers have run blended learning by using technologies in their class. However, when pandemic

came in which everything had to be run from inside the house, a problem came especially for
subjects which needed to be explained directly in detail like English III. English III in this
institution’s curriculum is subjected for TOEFL Preparation test. Therefore, a direct and detailed
explanation especially on its structure parts is crucial. Carrying out virtual meetings in the
classroom like Google Meet or Zoom Platform was actually a solution during pandemic era. By
using direct virtual meet, the lecture could just run the class as he usually did in offline class by
providing the link of the virtual meet, then explaining the material in detail and the students directly
could learn as just what they did while being in the real offline class. However, the problem on the
internet connection frequently made the virtual class did not run very well. The unstable internet
connection made the students lost their focus too. It may sometimes make them distressed. In
addition, the problem on the internet quota is mostly unavoidable especially for the students.
Therefore, the lecturer then preferred to create other e-learning media like recording his teaching
session or making tutorial videos then uploading it in the google classroom or other e-learning
applications. Once the material had been successfully uploaded, the students could play and start
learning the materials by watching the videos anytime and anywhere. This helped them understand
the material more since they could replay it as frequently as they wished.
However, another problem arose. The students often complained that downloading the audiovisual materials in the google classroom consumed much internet quota. The bigger the size of the
material video, the bigger the internet quota taken. From that, the lecturer then decided to have
another media in which the students could play and watch the material videos as frequently as they
wished without downloading the materials. The chosen media was Youtube. Youtube itself is
considered to be an effective media to increase the teaching and learning quality. (Ebied, Kahouf,
and Abdel Rahman, 2016; Suwarno, 2017, Kamhar and Lestari, 2019). This is in line with what
Iqbal, et.al (2020) stated in his research that Youtube became the first alternative media for teaching
and learning process. With its upload facility, teachers or lecturers are free to upload the material
videos in their channel. After that, they just need to copy the Youtube link and share it in the
classroom. Finally, the students can go directly to the channel, learn the materials by just clicking
the link and start watching the videos. Besides that, (...truncated)
