challenges, such as unstable internet connection issues and difficulties in operating Zoom's features,
became significant obstacles in their learning experience. In addition, students also faced challenges
in maintaining concentration during long Zoom sessions and managing their time well. Social
interaction and communication are also affected in learning through Zoom. Students expressed a need
for more direct face-to-face interactions with lecturers and fellow students. Although the Zoom

spontaneous interactions are limited in this virtual environment. Nonetheless, students recognize the
flexibility and accessibility offered by Zoom learning. They appreciated the ability to access lectures
from anywhere with a stable internet connection. In addition, they also consider the recorded lectures

for students. Further efforts are needed to overcome technical challenges, enhance social interaction,
and assist students in effectively managing their time and concentration in an online learning
environment. Development of technological skills and adequate support from educational institutions
are also important to ensure a successful learning experience through Zoom.
