CONCLUSION

This study examined the students’ experience in using Google Classroom as a tool in
their learning process. In addition, this study has evaluated the effectiveness of Google
Classroom as a tool for helping students in their learning process during COVID-19.
The contribution of this study is for validating the previous teachers’ experience results
studied in various contexts by changing the respondents from teachers to students
with some constructs modification. The results of this study can be used by lecturers
as guidelines in conducting online learning in order to have well-planned online
teaching and create more creative activities so that learning will be fun. Besides that,
students will be more active, creative and able to think critically. However, this study
can be extended by taking a larger sample size of students and lecturers to get a better
result. Further studies can be extended to other constructs such as ease of use,
Google Classroom quality, and perceived instruction delivery, ease of learning or
adapting other models such as UTAUT model, DeLone and McLean model and so
forth.
