<p class="0abstract">The study examined the criterions that school principals used to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of distance learning tools in the COVID-19 pandemic by school teachers. Six school administrators were interviewed regarding their evaluation of the technological tools used by the teachers in distance. The constant comparative method was used to analyze the interview data. The study results indicated ten criterions that served the principals in their evaluation:(1) Availability of the technological tool in students’ hands, (2) The teacher's ability to handle the tool used, (3) The fit of the used tool to the specific content, (4) The fit of the used tool to the curriculum objectives, (5) Planning the use of the tool in the classroom, (6) Use of technological tools for interactive communication in the classroom, (7)Use of technological tools to stimulate, attract and engage students in distance learning, (8) Use of technological tools to achieve quality education, (9) Use of technological tools to manage students' behavior in distance learning, and (10) Using mobile tools to encourage students’ engagement in distance learning. More research is needed to study school principals’ behavior regarding E-learning especially in emergency education. <strong></strong></p>

This study aims to analyze the organization of online learning from teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is a qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. The research subjects were elementary school teachers. Data were collected through interviews and documentation. Data analysis is done through data condensation, data presentation and verification. The results show that online learning is based on a simplified curriculum with the selection of essential competencies that are considered very important to be conveyed to students. The lesson plans are arranged in a simpler way with sections that always appear, namely learning objectives, learning activities and assessments. Synchronous learning relies more on Zoom. Asynchronous learning variations are carried out with Google Classroom to form independent and student-centered learning. Strengthening student understanding is done by providing feedback through the WhatsApp application because it is considered more flexible, responds quickly, is simple and easy to run on students' smartphones. Keywords: Covid-19 Pandemic, elementary school, online learning

The 2020 coronavirus pandemic and its negative consequences have become the world's most unpredictable health crisis, thereby causing the global higher education community significant challenges. Because leaders of higher education institutions have responded to the Covid-19 crisis in various ways, this study's purpose was to gather information on methods and strategies of institutional leadership and management. The study uses desk and meta-analysis, researching specifically through a review of previous research and then deriving conclusions and recommendations. The two research questions are (1) how are universities responding to the pandemic? and (2) How has the pandemic impacted university leadership? Through skilled leadership, instructors and students have mostly shifted to online distance learning. Conclusions focus on the fact that higher education leaders should prioritize safeguarding of learners' rights and promote economic growth, sustainable development, and long-lasting peace. Therefore, leading decision-makers should heed the several recommendations in regard to guaranteeing the safety of all, ensure inclusive reopening, involve all stakeholders, remove connectivity limitations, and upholding the teaching profession and teachers' preparedness and management styles.
