Abstract

Various problems in learning always arise, especially during a pandemic. Learning that was supposed to be face-to-face, is now held offline. Although over time the problem is resolved, there must still be a need for efforts to deal with problems in online learning, one of which is by developing E-Module learning media based on Problem Based Learning. This study aims to determine the access and perceptions of students and teachers in the use of E-Module learning media based on Problem Based Learning, besides that this study also aims to determine the potential for its application. This research method uses questionnaires to distribute to 120 students, besides that this research also uses interviews with several teachers and students at the Social Sciences major in Surakarta who need innovative media, especially in Sociology subjects. These findings indicate that students are very familiar with the device.
