“WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?” .

In Indonesia, DKI Jakarta, was named the Epicentrum of Covid-19 and began implementing social distancing, stay-at-home, large-scale social borders (PSBB), & online learning (studying at home). Students frst appreciated online learning because it allowed them to do all of their learning tasks from the comfort of their own homes. But then, a new dilemma occurred. Online learning policy required students to spend more time upfront on their devices, as well as attend many class video calls, committee meetings, seminars, and other events.

Students must adjust to a new learning environment at home, which has a number of drawbacks, including a lack of personal study space and various distractions during video calls or online meetings, that make the learning environment unfocused and unproductive. Some students are also forced to use a sleeping bed as a study furniture because they do not have a designated study desk or study furniture.

This study aims to develop a piece of ergonomic study furniture with a high level of privacy for students who do not have study furniture at home in order to boost students focus and comfort when learning online.
