Abstract

This study evaluates the student experiences and educational benefits of using the e-learning platform at UPN University "Veteran" Jawa Timur (UPNVJT). With the rapid adoption of technology due to the COVID-19 pandemic, e-learning has become a crucial alternative in supporting educational activities. The study used a quantitative approach with a sample of 50 UPNVJT students from various study programs. Data were collected through questionnaires assessing platform usage, user experiences, and the benefits and challenges encountered. The results show that the UPNVJT e-learning is often used for downloading materials and submitting assignments. The majority of respondents reported positive experiences regarding the accessibility and flexibility offered by the platform. However, some challenges such as slow server speeds, network issues, and a lack of interactive features were also identified. Based on these findings, it is recommended to improve the user interface, technical infrastructure, notification and discussion features to support collaborative learning. This study provides important insights into the effectiveness of the e-learning platform in supporting the teaching and learning process, as well as areas that need improvement to enhance the student learning experience.
