Abstract
The outbreak of COVID–19 has severe impacts in various sectors including education. All schools and campuses must be cleared from any activities. However, learning process must still run for the students. Distance learning which was previously an option has now become a compulsory means of education. Engineering Faculty, Universitas Negeri Semarang also uses distance learning process. Therefore, this study is aimed at describing the implementation of distance learning. This study employed Moore’s transactional distance theory in online learning model as its theoretical framework. The data were collected from the documents and a website used for distance learning in Unnes. Then, the data were analysed qualitatively and quantitatively by using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the percentage of transactional distance between students and teacher is 83,48%, the percentage of transactional distance between students and content is 90,12%, the percentage of transactional distance between students and student is 95,492%. All of those constructs are categorized as very high.
