Abstract
This study aims to obtain a software called v-Classroom as an effective and efficient distance learning software. Effective in this case is that the system developed can be used in accordance with the needs of distance learning, while efficient is that the system developed is a system that is cheap in the use of internet quotas.
The software development method is called the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), which consists of: planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, maintenance. The V-Classroom was developed since 2000 and has reached the Implementation stage although in limited numbers. V-Classroom has not done the Testing stage. This Testing stage needs to be done so that the v-Classroom can be developed completely so that it can be used as an effective and efficient distance learning system.
In this study, the Testing stage will be carried out by testing the v-Classroom two times. Opinions on v-Classroom were measured using a questionnaire using a closed and open answer format. The questionnaire is given in the form of a Google Form. The results of the phase 1 trials conducted on 88 people, showed that v-Classroom is an efficient, but less effective. After being repaired v-Classroom was tested on 44 people and showed that v-Classroom is an effective and efficient distance learning software. In the era of the Covid-19 pandemic, v-Classroom can be an alternative that can be used as a distance learning software.
