Perception Toward The Use of Edlink Platform on the Second Semester of English Program at IAIN Parepare. Meanwhile, the lowest score for the PU construct is point number 4 (Edlink platform can not increase my productivity in English), the total of the statement is 164 scores with percentage 65.6%, then indicates Neutral or that half of the students in the second semester of the English program at IAIN.

According to the result of this study, the highest score of the PU construct is item number 1 (Edlink platform makes it easy for me to do and complete the course assignment), the total of the statement is 200 score with a percentage of 80%, So. Meanwhile, the lowest score of the PEOU construct is item number 10 (with the edlink platform, obtaining and collecting materials is not easily accessible), the total of the statements is 164 points.
According to the result of this research, the highest score of the construct of AUT is item number 13 (I feel happy using the Edlink platform), the total score of statement 189 with a percentage of 75.6% thus indicates Strong, it means that more than half of students in the second semester of the English Program at IAIN Parepare agree with this statement, it can be said that one of the positive impacts of online learning is the feeling of happiness, but there will be ineffectiveness if the students feel unhappy and uncomfortable using an application in the lesson. According to the result of this research, the highest BIUS score is item number 20 (I rarely access the Edlink platform).
