Abstract

As unwanted disturbance of Covid-19 towards many aspects of education emerges faster, teaching and learning in higher education becomes unstable. Several academic actions have been undertaken to survive from the disaster including implementation of blended and online learning. However, implementing both learning method, for many lecturers and students in higher education institution, remains controversial. The results of deep interview and observation reveal that lecturing quality with online methods has some problems. First, online learning disturbs academic interaction between lecturers and students. Second, academic freedom such as giving ideas and debating is simply limited. Third, physical attitudes such as facial expressions and speech mimics are not able to be freely expressed. Fourth, expenses for attending online courses are getting more burdened for some. Fortunately, the controversial voices are considered to be paramount for further improvement of teaching and learning quality during Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Supporting educational policy is needed.
