Planning private spaces for design students to support the optimization of online learning

Abstract

As an effort to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak, the government stipulated that all tertiary institutions eliminate lecture activities on campus and pivot to online lecturing. However, this change resulted in several problems for students, one of which regarding space in which to learn from home. Because of that, space design is needed to support students to perform online learning more sufficiently both in terms of space layout and adequate facilities. This design was made based on the results of a questionnaire from 100 varied design students majoring in interior design, architecture, products, visual communication, and craft. The design students as a subjects (as subjects) were chosen because the nature of their assignments were more dynamic so that their facilities needed to become more diverse. This design was carried out using qualitative methods, namely analyzing questionnaire data as well as quantitative data with descriptive analysis from literature studies. By designing this online learning space, it is hoped that students can optimize the online learning process.
