communication technology (ICT) was not yet widely used in the teaching and learning
process. . However, as time goes by, the use of information and communication
technology (ICT) is becoming more and more common, especially after the COVID-19
pandemic, which requires teachers and students, like it or not, to use information and
communication technology (ICT) in the teaching and learning process. Even in 2021,
almost 100% of teaching and learning activities are carried out online (on the network).
