This survey research aimed to identify the factors that influence student learning outcomes in the online Fundamental Mathematics I course at Del Institute of Technology during the odd semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The study used a quantitative approach and a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The participants were active students who took the course, and the data analysis used descriptive statistics and multinomial logistic regression. The findings revealed that internal factors, including interest and motivation, health, learning method, intelligence, and talent, significantly influenced student learning outcomes. Additionally, external factors such as campus and surroundings matter were also significant predictors of student achievement. The results of this study have important implications for educators and policymakers in designing effective online learning strategies that consider both internal and external factors to enhance student learning outcomes.
This act of community dedication is aimed to provide video lessons of First Fundamental Mathematics/ First Calculus for the undergraduate students. The videos are free lesson source, accessible anytime and anywhere from Youtube. During the activity, there are a lot of positive responses from the students who are taking the same lessons as provided by the video materials. It can be concluded that the activity went very well and the result is as good as expected.

Merebaknya pandemi Covid-19 menyebabkan terbatasnya ruang gerak di segala aspek. Pembatasan ini menyebabkan banyak perkuliahan harus dilaksanakan secara online. Dalam prakteknya, hal ini menyebabkan kesulitan dikarenakan mahasiswa tidak selalu bisa mengakses kelas online karena satu atau dua hal teknis dan semacamnya. Beranjak dari hal tersebut, penulis tergugah untuk membantu banyak mahasiswa khususnya pada tingkat pertama untuk dapat mengakses pembelajaran dengan lebih mudah.
Penggunaan platform youtube sudah sejak lama dimanfaatkan untuk berbagi hiburan, berita, dan banyak informasi lainnya. Demikian pula untuk keperluan pendidikan, terdapat banyak sumber pengajaran yang dapat dimanfaatkan, baik dari dalam maupun luar negeri. Penulis mengambil materi pembelajaran untuk kuliah Matematika Dasar, terkhusus dari referensi Buku Kalkulus Jilid 2 yang ditulis oleh Varberg, Purcell dan Rigdon. Materi tersebut kemudian disusun ke dalam video pembahasan yang dapat diakses kapanpun, di mana pun dan oleh siapapun.
Konsep pembelajaran asinkronus sejalan dengan pandangan konstruktivisme yang menekankan bahwa seorang pembelajar dituntut untuk bisa mengkonstruksi ide baru dari ide yang sudah ada. Oleh karena itulah subjek dari kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini adalah mahasiswa yang sebelumnya tentu sudah memiliki konsepsi konkret yang baik dan tinggal meneruskannya pada konsepsi abstrak sesuai dengan tuntutan di tingkat universitas.
Kata Kunci: asinkronus, kalkulus, video
