be done by the teachers and the students. Cole (2000) as cited in Rossytawati (2018) stated that teaching and learning activities allow done by the students anytime. It means that by using technological devices teaching and learning process is not bound by distance, space, and time. Besides Khan (1997) aid that in delivering instruction and materials as an innovative approach to the remote audience using the web as the media called as online instruction. Nowadays, online learning is widely used in the teaching and learning process. The online class is used by all educational system because of the problem in this world COVID-19. The government gives a rule that all the activities include the educational system doing from home through online or computer devices.
The online class is not a new trend for the students. Aderson (2008) as cited in Rossytawaty (2018) said that E-learning, virtual learning, distance learning are included in other terms of online learning. Most students have known about the platform for creating and sharing materials online, such as Google Classroom. By using Google Classroom the lecturer conduct the teaching-learning process online. Lecturer share the materials from the Google Classroom and make discussion with all the students, not only materials, through Google Classroom lecturer create assignment or questions for students. Perez (2015) expressed that when creating assignments, giving announcements, and asking a question to make teachers easier through Google Classroom the users (teacher and students) are used the Gmail account. In using Google Classroom most students know properly, moreover in using video conferences. Even some students are not skilled in using Google Classroom they still can join with the class. Related to this system, there are pros and contra from the students. Besides, there are many challenges to online learning. This statement is supported by Amadea and Dahesihsari (2015) the limited implementation of online learning to be the problems. The lack of connectivity and lack of understanding of the features become the problems.
Moreover using video conference need more speed internet connection to make the feature performance to be maximum. Based on the explanation above the researcher needs to explore more about students' views or perceptions toward online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic term.
Each individual has different views or perceptions of something. The differences view, perception, or argument about something depends on how someone giving a response to the object. Related to online learning, students have a different view toward online class,

Learning, Google Classroom, Video Conference every student has their view about online learning. According to Montague (1997) the students' feelings about something called students' perception. Students' view related to online learning is important to measure the condition of the class and to evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and learning activities.
Toward online learning students have a different view, there are kinds of view positive and negative views. It is called a positive view then they tend to view the process of the behavior positively and develop a positive attitude toward it. Beside negative views is the way to think about something or the impression you have of it negatively. Positive and negative views from the students are useful for the lecturer to know the condition of the class, the effectiveness of the method that is used is appropriate for the class or not.
Also, Chen (2003) stated that to know the effectiveness of the class it needed students' perception. After knowing the view of the student, the lecturer can avoid the way to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning process. Based on the explanation above, the researcher avoids to research students' view toward online learning. This research is conducting because online learning is doing for all the subjects, and this system is new from the government to conduct online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic term.

Students' view of online class (using of Google Classroom and Video Conference)
The online class system was conducted for all subjects. For one-semester, they study through online by using Google Classroom and Video Conference. This system is Participant: according to me online class is not effective because the process of learning changes from face-to-face to be online, all of the materials from the lecturer in file form so it needs to read the materials. Sometimes we could not understand if it is just read without explanation directly from the lecturer.
The answer of the participants shows that there is a positive and negative view related to online class especially the use of Google Classroom and Video Conference.
The first participant has a positive view of an online class. It gives new information about another E-learning. Video conference is a new experience for the participant.
Besides, the second participant has a negative view, face-to-face is better than an online class. face-to-face class is more effective than an online class because they just read the material without hearing from the lecturer directly.
Researcher: do you think that using Google Classroom and Video Conference ncreases the effectiveness of learning semiotics?
Participant: this change give an effect on the understanding of each student.
Teaching-learning activities are not effective because of the limitation of time and lack of connection, moreover when using video conferences.

Online Learning, Google Classroom, Video Conference
Participant: it is not effective, I just understand a little bit about the material sometimes I do not understand all the material. When using Video conference its enough to make me understand but the slow of connection is the problem.
Participant: Using Google Classroom and Video Conference are not as effective as the face-to-face teaching-learning process. The lack of connection caused the video conference is not good in sound and picture, beside Google Classroon is not work well, so the explanation from the lecturer is not clear.

Moreover, through group work that is given by the lecturer can encourage students' anxiety.
Participant: we can study from home so it is no need to go to the campus in a hurry Participant: we obtained more understanding of using technology and increase our knowledge The data showed that online class has efficient time for the students, they can learn from home without having to come to the campus. Online classes give chance to the students to know more about the technology related to E-learning.
From the data finding through the interview, it can be concluded that the online class system during one semester in the Covid-19 pandemic term in learning semiotics there is a positive and negative view from the participants. Some of the participants have a positive view of an online class. They said that by doing online classes they know more Online Learning, Google Classroom, Video Conference about technology related to media for online study.
