Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, the government has imposed restrictions on public activities. Learning institutions, including schools, are implementing online learning as an effort to break the chain of the spread of COVID-19. One of the schools, namely SMAN 1 Cerme, implements online learning with the Whatsapp Group platform. The use of Whatsapp Groups is considered to have low effectiveness which is reviewed through learning outcomes. The low effectiveness of Whatsapp Groups can be overcome by using a new learning platform, namely Google Meet. The Google Meet platform is more effective than Whatsapp Group in terms of existing features. This study aims to describe the effectiveness of learning based on Whatsapp Group, Google Meet, and a comparison of the effectiveness of the two in class XI students with material on fiscal and monetary policy during the COVID-19 pandemic at SMA Negeri 1 Cerme. This research is an experimental type with a quasi-experimental method. the experimental group selected class XI IPA 6 with treatment using Google Meet, while the control group XI IPA 4 used the Whatsapp Group treatment. Both classes use the same learning method, namely Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that 1) The use of the Whatsapp Group platform in learning has a significant positive effect on learning outcomes; 2) The use of the Google Meet platform in learning has a significant positive effect; 3) The learning platform applied to the experimental class, namely Google Meet, has a greater influence.
