This study aims to examine the use of E-learning based on LMS for college students with special needs during the Covid-19 pandemic. The method used in this research is a literature study, where the researcher collects relevant data to support the researcher’s ideas. Based on the literature review results, the use of E-Learning based on LMS Edmodo, Schoology, and Learnboost has the same effectiveness despite having different levels of ease of use. Meanwhile, the most frequently used E-Learning based on LMS at the university level is Moodle. In its utilization, E-learning based on LMS has five standard features. So that these five features can be used optimally by students with special needs during the Covid-19 pandemic, things that need to be considered are: (1) particular guidelines for the use of E-Learning based on LMS are available for college students with special needs; (2) audio is available that can be used by college students with visual impairments, (3) sign language is available as an interface so that college students can access it with hearing impairments, (4) available text on lecturer materials in the form of video or audio so that it can be accessed by college students with hearing impairments, (5) there is a virtual keyboard feature available in E-Learning based on LMS which allows college students with physical and motor disabilities to use the mouse to type or do other activities on the computer, (6) the features available in E-Learning based on LMS are designed to accept voice input.
Abstrak. Penggunaaan E-Learning SIMARI pada masa pandemi COVID-19 belum sepenuhnya mengakomodasi kebutuhan belajar mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus di ULM. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor penghambat mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus dalam menggunakan E-Learning SIMARI di ULM. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Sumber data dalam penelitian ini adalah 24 orang mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus ULM. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan wawancara dalam bentuk google form. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan model analisis data interaktif Miles dan Huberman yang terdiri dari reduksi data, penyajian data dan penarikan kesimpulan. Teknik keabsahan data yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini ialah triangulasi sumber yang dilengkapi dengan membercheck. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan faktor-faktor penghambat mahasiswa bekebutuhan khusus dalam menggunakan E-Learning SIMARI, yaitu: (1) tidak ada petunjuk khusus langkah-langkah masuk ke akun SIMARI dan mengisi profil diri pada SIMARI yang disederhanakan bagi mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus, (2) tidak tersedia penggunaan input suara, virtual keyboard, audio dan video tutorial bahasa isyarat sebagai petunjuk posisi dan penggunaan fitur-fitur SIMARI bagi mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus, (3) Kebanyakan dosen dan kelompok presentasi mahasiswa belum melakukan modifikasi materi bagi mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus di SIMARI, (4) soal yang disajikan kebanyakan dosen pada SIMARI tidak disederhanakan dan dikhususkan bagi mahasiswa berkebutuhan khusus baik segi bentuk soal, jumlah soal dan waktu pengerjaan, serta adanya gangguan jaringan internet menjadi penghambat dalam menyelesaikan soal pada SIMARI, (5) kurangnya/tidak adanya pendampingan orangtua saat menggunakan SIMARI. Selain itu, Volunteer sulit menyesuaikan jadwal pendampingan SIMARI. Kemudian, volunteer yang berasal dari teman sekelas kesulitan menjelaskan materi perkuliahan baru yang diajarkan melalui SIMARI.
