Students Experience Testing in the Implementation of the “Gather Town” Meeting Platform as an Alternative Learning Media other than Zoom Cloud Meeting Application

The COVID-19 pandemic has limited the mobility of everyone in the world. Education is one of the most affected sectors because education systems have been done face to face. Most educational institutions switch to online learning by using online meeting platforms. We discovered an online meeting platform called “Gather town” which looks more attractive in increasing learning motivation and may be an alternative solution for online education. This paper aims to test student experience using “Gather Town” as a new learning medium and compare the effectiveness with Zoom Meeting Application. We compare the User Experience of both applications by letting respondents try the application and ask for feedback from our questionnaire. The result from the questionnaire shows that Gather Town has excellent potential as an alternative new learning media.
