HumasUPNVJ - SARS-CoV-2 is a respiratory syndrome disease caused by the Corona Virus which attacks the respiratory tract ranging from mild to severe. Symptoms are fever, cough and shortness of breath, are acute, and are usually patient. Based on data from the ministry of health (KEMENKES), there was an increase in patients infected with the corona virus (Covid-19) totaling 686 people as of March 24 2020. This increase also occurred in patients who died, namely 55 people. However, the number of recovered patients has not increased.
In preventing the transmission of the virus and fully supporting the government's directives regarding social distancing and work from home , according to circular letter number 25/UN61.0/SE/2020, from 17 to 31 March 2020 the lecturers will carry out the tridharma duties from home ( work from home ). In implementing the tridharma for teaching, an electronic learning system is used which can be accessed via the https://elearning40.upnvj.ac.id/ page or through other supporting learning media. During distance education students are presented with various learning media techniques such as video conferences , e-books or other electronic materials, online quizzes, discussion forums, chats . However, the whole lecture routine is a bit of a hassle for students because some conditions require separate face-to-face meetings, but due to the focus and activeness and consequently students can slowly get used to remote teaching.
In terms of research and community service, we, who are members of a team of lecturers from the computer science faculty at the Jakarta Veterans National Development University, namely Ruth Mariana Bungawadu, Rio Wirawan, Desta Sandiya Prasvita, also carry out these activities from home. In our community service activities with the theme of e-marketing for SMEs that produce pottery as a craft and characteristic of the Serang Banten area, we carry out activities and coordinate with an instant messaging application called WhatsApp . Through whatsapp, community service activities are carried out in coordination between the lecturers and students involved.
