Abstract

In the early 2020s, Indonesia was shocked by the Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) outbreak which struck almost all parts of the world. The Indonesian government spontaneously implemented a policy of learning from home, working from home, and worship at home. All face-to-face activities are diverted online. In the field of education, both universities and schools need to strengthen online learning during this time. Universitas Negeri Surabaya has an alternative in carrying out a proposal / thesis seminar by using virtual meetings. The virtual meetings used include: meeting.unesa.ac.id, rv.unesa.ac.id, zoom, google meets, Webex and others. This study aims to determine students’ perceptions of the virtual meeting features as a means of online proposal / thesis examination in the middle of a pandemic. This study can be a reference whether the use of virtual meetings as an alternative in carrying out a seminar proposal / thesis is effectively implemented. The research focuses on students’ opinions on the usability factor (PU) and convenience factor (PEOU) in virtual meeting features following the Technology Acceptance Model theory.
