Abstract

Various sectors of life were directly and indirectly affected by the emergence of Covid-19 in December 2019 in Wuhan (Huang, 2020). Capano (2020) declared Covid-19 to be a real tsunami that most countries were not ready to handle. Education was the main sector affected (Adedoyin and Emrah Soykan, 2020; Leonie Rowan and Parlo Singh, 2020), in addition to health (Capano,2020), the economy, and various other sectors. In Indonesia, the first Covid-19 case spread widely on March 2, 2020, which immediately spread throughout Indonesia. In understanding the global pandemic, universities in all countries are rapidly rethinking and overhauling their education policies (Clarke,2020). Understanding the importance of the education sector, especially with the influence of the emergence of Covid-19, the Indonesian government responds quickly to policy strategies in the education sector. The online learning policy became the main adaptation strategy which was then implemented during the Covid-19 pandemic. This article discusses how online learning policies as strategies for adaptation and implementation of learning in higher education. This policy was not only seen as a responsive step but also adaptive and strategic in dealing with the learning process in higher education during the pandemic. The implementation of this policy strategy was also the responsibility of the government (Ansell, 2020) to ensure that the service process in the education sector continues. Most of the research focuses on policy innovations in the education sector that are currently underway, implemented, and developed at the Faculty of Social Science and Law, Universitas Negeri Surabaya.
