This has an impact on all lines of the life of each country. Among them is the education sector. Aside from efforts to solve this co- 19 problem, the state must continue to maintain the stability and sustainability of the learning process that is the right of all citizens. Indonesia experienced the same thing. face to face learning "shock" and immediately take the fastest action by utilizing existing technology, but not all of them are ready. Using survey methods and adopting the theories of Delon and McLean, this study aims to determine the readiness of organizers, lectures, and students for current conditions, their readiness in undergoing the learning process while maintaining the quality of education and user satisfaction (instructors and students) towards learning. The results of this study prove that we all tend to be unprepared but strangely, on the other hand, the fact is that the positive things from this pandemic prove that education practitioners in Indonesia are better prepared by online learning because they are more comfortable and satisfied with online learning while supported by the government and a good system ( 96% of respondents) compared to face to face (4% of respondents). Keywords—pandemic Covid-19, face to face learning, online learning, student profile. I. INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic polemic grows like a fungus not only in Indonesia but also throughout the world. All lines of life are affected and are affected by the spread of this virus. Recent data as of June 19, 2020, shows a significant increase in the distribution of COVID-19 (Fig.1). The same thing is experienced in Indonesia with a growing distribution every day with distribution as shown in Fig. 2. The new normal concept adopted by the government shows a greater impact on the distribution of COVID-19. Various actions were taken by each country to save the country from greater impacts such as the impact on mental health [1], socio-economic [2], school, skills, and learning spread of the COVID-19 virus in Indonesia. One of the efforts made by the government in Indonesia is to implement an appeal to the community to carry out physical distancing, namely an appeal to keep a distance between the people, avoid activities in all forms of crowds, gatherings, and avoid meetings that involve many people up to the lockdown stage [5]. On the industry side, the government applies the rule of Work From Home (WFH). Education in Indonesia has also become one of the areas affected by the co-19 pandemic [6]. The existence of this limitation, of course, has an impact on the learning process in Indonesia, especially for the regular mode of learning, namely face to face. Fig. 1.
