Abstract
Learning or lectures carried out by universities are currently still conducting learning with two methods, namely offline learning and online learning. Fatmawati Sukarno State Islamic University students have studied using these two methods, but for sixth semester students learning is done online. This perception of learning through whatsapp needs to be known in order to improve the learning system carried out through whatsapp media later. This research method uses qualitative methods. The source of the data comes from observations and interviews conducted with ten students of early childhood education at Fatmawati Sukarno State Islamic University. The benefits of learning through whatsapp according to students, learning feels more relaxed and flexible, important notes are still stored in whatsapp, and eases the burden on students. However, the disadvantages of learning through WhatsApp according to students are lack of focus when learning, less interactive, and mobile phone storage space that fills up quickly.
