The instruments used under this study were the Learning Management Plans that were used with Google Classroom, the achievement test, and satisfaction evaluation forms toward Learning Management Plans with Google Classroom. The results showed that 1) the efficiency of online learning management was 66.75/ 67.90, 2) the effectiveness of online learning management was 0.38, 3) student’s self-direct learning was at a moderate level. (=3.98, S.D.=0.87), 4) the students’ academic achievement who received online learning management did not meet the required criteria, and 5) learners’ satisfaction towards the online learning management was at the highest level (
