The focuses of the research were “What are the e-learning platforms used by teachers in Catholic schools in West Kalimantan? How is the application of the e-learning Platform and the obstacles? What are the attitudes of the teachers towards the use of e-learning-based media?”The research subjects were teachers who teach in Catholic schools. The research sample was taken randomly using purposive sampling. Techniques of data collection were questionnaires and open interviews. Based on the results of the study, 53.8% of teachers in several high schools / vocational schools in West Kalimantan used the Google Classroom, especially in urban areas or areas with good internet signal access. However, some vocational/ high school teachers are still difficult to apply e-learning and finally use a blended learning system. The respondents also agreed that learning through e-learning is very relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, even though it seems forced due to the unpreparedness of teachers and students.Keywords: e-learnng, Platform, attitude, teachers
