The method used in this research is literature study or library research. Literature studies are carried out by reading library sources to obtain the required data. The data sources used are secondary data, where secondary data is collected through textbooks, scientific journals, and perodical. The results showed that online learning is learning that uses an internet-based interactive model and a Learning Management System (LMS). The abilities of lecturers and students in online learning vary, some are accustomed to it, cannot be separated, there are also those who are forced and unprepared. However, the condition of the plague forces everyone to be ready to take advantage of information technology to prevent the outbreak from spreading. The Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) pandemic has great potential to become a catalyst in the implementation of the Merdeka Learning: Merdeka Campus policy. Lecturers and students become actors in independent learning with the help of information technology. The implementation of online learning is not only dominated by State Universities (PTN), Private Universities (PTS) have also implemented online lectures well.
