| dc.description.abstract | This study was aimed to reveal the actual condition of smartphone features usage by
university students as their online learning tools during the Covid-19 pandemic whether
the practice led to positive or negative assistance. This study was a quantitative survey
study as it used an adapted questionnaire that administered to forty-two (42) respondents
in a population which comprised of seventy (70) English Language Education students
in an Islamic private university in Yogyakarta by using simple random sampling. The
study reported that the students use smartphone features to support their online learning
through some activities such as opening, browsing, sharing, discussing, and managing
their online assignments. Furthermore, the students believed that smartphone features
might possibly create a chance to facilitate an ergonomic learning tool by functioning
smartphone features' multitasking ability. In sum, university students brought smartphone
features as advantageous online learning tools to keep connecting them to the university
life. However, because of this study designed as a small survey study, that kind of result
should be standing on the broader scope and specific matter. In other words, a largerfuture
