WebGIS of Participants in the Webinar on Communication and Learning Motivation during the Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

Effective communication is the key to the learning process for educators. Strong motivation is needed, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Webinars are a good medium for motivators to convey motivation and communication solutions for educators. To map the interests of the webinar participants, a Web Geographic Information System (WebGIS) was built. Online registration is spread through social media networks so that there are 859 participants spread across Indonesia. The first largest was obtained by West Sumatra Province with 21%, East Java Province 16.4%, and West Java Province 10%. Participants were dominated by teachers 48% and students 21.7%. With the presence of information on areas, numbers, and percentages visually through the WebGIS application, universities, institutions or stakeholders can formulate policies and planning programs to improve the quality of teaching and learning through communication and learning motivation, both for teachers and students.
