The pandemic of Covid 19 has changed people's lives in all sectors, including the education sector. To meet the Health protocol, the learning process cannot be done face-to-face, but it is mostly done online. The science education study program is the fastest study program that is obliged to produce prospective teachers and educational staff who will carry out educational and learning tasks in schools. For this reason, the learning process in these study programs should be a pioneer in implementing information technology-based learning processes. However, until now there has not been much research done in this regard. Therefore, this research aimed at exploring the implementation of the learning process in online learning-based educational study programs. The research sample was taken by 83 respondents who were taken from seven study programs randomly. Collecting data in this research applies a questionnaire and it is analyzed using descriptive statistics and analysis of variance. The results showed that lecturers in study programs used online communication media, with the highest frequency is WhatsApp, and then Email, Sipejar-Assignment, Google Meet, Google Classroom, Zoom, and Quizizz. While the lowest used are BigBlue Button, Schoology, Team Viewer, Kahoot, and Nearpod. There are variations in use that differ from one study program to another. © 2021 IEEE.
