COVID-19 has an impact on all aspects of life, including education and learning. To ensure that teaching and learning activities continue to run well, teachers are required to master learning media that support online learning. One of the learning media used online is YouTube. Besides being easy to reach, there are currently many learning materials available on YouTube. But the problem is how effective YouTube is as a learning medium, especially for elementary school children. This type of research is qualitative research using a case study approach. The data collection methods used in this study were interviews, questionnaires and documentation. The goal in this study is to explore and find out the effectiveness of YouTube as a learning medium for PAI during the Covid-19 pandemic for elementary school level children.

The COVID-19 pandemic causes transitions and social changes in the learning process from offline to online. On the other hand, the adaptation of formal education to digital learning is not always smooth. In this case, startups in the education sector have a role in advancing education and improving the quality of students in Indonesia, especially high school students. The purpose of this research is to analyze the role of educational startups in Indonesia in improving the quality of high school students during the pandemic. This research uses a mix method approach that combines quantitative and qualitative approaches, where data is obtained through distributions of questionnaires to 112 high school students, interview and library research.
