- Abstract
Learning evaluation activities are very important to determine the development of student learning and have been carried out directly in the form of a written test (paper-based test). However, during the Covid-19 pandemic, this activity could not be carried out directly as usual due to government and campus policies regarding work from home and study from home. It is recommended that all series of learning activities including evaluation activities be carried out online from home. The WhatsApp application is the platform most widely used in online learning evaluation. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of lecturers and students regarding learning evaluation activities that have been carried out online using the WhatsApp platform. In addition, it is also to find out how the implementation mechanism is applied when online evaluation uses the application. This research employed a qualitative descriptive study. The research subjects were lecturers and students at the University of Samawa. This research was conducted after the Final Even Semester Examination in the academic year 2019/2020. The research data collection instrument was in the form of a questionnaire with a Likert scale and also interviews. The results indicate that the WhatsApp application can support online learning evaluation activities even though the implementation process is not optimal.
