Pandemic has changed people’s ways of life; one of them is the usage of digital learning. It gives a new habit for the teacher in delivering material and giving assignments. Over a year’s teaching learning process is done via online since the government does not give any permission to conduct face-to-face learning activity. Therefore, teachers and students have to deal with digital platforms like Google Classroom, Google Meet, Youtube, Zoom and Whatsapp. Those who have good access and facilities would not have any problem, but how about people in remote areas? They face some barriers such as the internet connection problem, the electricity availability, students’ mobile phone availability and the ability to provide internet data. This paper aims to show how effective the digital platform for teaching and learning activities in remote areas is. The data is collected from a survey that is distributed via Google form to the English teachers who teach in remote areas. Most of them say that the messenger application, Whatsapp, has become the most effective in online teaching.
