“…As for video conferences, you can use Zoom, Webex, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, etc. Online learning in a pandemic is an alternative solution (Basilaia & Kvavadze, 2020;Bauerlein, 2008;Laprairie & Hinson, 2006;Taha et al, 2020). The use of online learning is indeed practical because it can be used anywhere and anytime (Bourne et al, 2005;Means, 2010;Nakamura et al, 2018;Özyurt et al, 2013). However, do not close your eyes that the implementation of online learning raises its problems (Hung & Chou, 2015;Smart & Cappel, 2006;Van Bruggen, 2005).…”

On March 16, 2020, many universities in Indonesia began implementing online-based learning to replace lectures in the classroom. This is done as a way to reduce the transmission of the Covid-19 outbreak in Indonesia. There is an opinion that with the implementation of online learning, especially in mathematics education study programs, there are many obstacles when learning takes place. This study aims to determine the obstacles that arise after the implementation of online learning in mathematics learning in Higher Education. This research is a qualitative case study, assisted by an online survey. The researcher collected data through an online survey consisting of 27 questions. The survey is aimed at lecturers who teach in Mathematics Education study programs in Indonesia. The survey contains structured questions and leads to three parts, namely; basic skills challenges, teaching and learning challenges, and university challenges. The 27 questions contained questions about the ability of platform mastery to support online learning owned by each lecturer. The research involved 26 lecturers from universities in Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. The results of this study reveal that all lecturers affected by the pandemic use a Learning Management System (LMS) based website as a means of online learning. The learning management system-based platform is the most widely used (google class and Edmodo) while video conferencing is the second choice (Zoom and Skype). What is interesting is that the LMS available on campus is less attractive to lecturers. However, there are obstacles faced such as the limitations of writing mathematical symbols and the limited basic capabilities of the learning management system and multimedia software to support online learning.

“…When learners use technology as a communication tool with others, then their role is active and they choose for themselves how to manage the information they receive and therefore do not function as passive recipients of knowledge and information (Means & Olson, 1997). The use of new technology in education should be such that is creates the conditions for learning, but learners should be the ones to discover and build knowledge through situations and activities.…”

This paper discusses the use of new technology in education. It refers to different types of literacy namely technological, digital, mathematical, scientific and information literacy as well as to the definitions and characteristics of the use of computers in education such as CAL, CBE, CAT etc. The use of technology in the constructivist and behavioural learning approach are mentioned and the advantages and disadvantages of the use of new technology in education are given.

“…The teachers who monitored learner-oriented classrooms and real learning activities as a key to the success of their students were more probable to utilize the technology on an ongoing basis. Means and Olson (1997) found that technology enlarged the intricacy with which learners could deal successfully and made multiple roles and tasks, causing to student specialization. It led in profound exploration of a limited number of views and related facts around genuine and demanding activities.…”

Abstract-Technology has modified the method of learning and teaching .Many learning theories can be used to apply and integrate this technology more effectively. There is a close relationship between technology and constructivism has got a close relationship. The implementation of each of these has merits for the other. Learning happens in situations, while technology focuses on the settings and programs which make learners be involved in. The latest efforts have been done to incorporate technology in classrooms based on the constructivist structure context. This paper aims at investigating. (a) benefits of the incorporation of technology into the classroom (b) successful technology integration into the classroom (c) factors contributing to teachers' use of technology (d) The application of learning theory by teachers to make technology more efficient (e) learning with technology: constructivist perspective and (f) constructivism as a framework for educational technology. This paper explains that if technology on its own can make the progress of education more efficient or not and if the existence of a complete instructional theory for technology is serious for indicating its positive effect on the learner is an important issue.
