E-learning scholars have long predicted the conversion of conventional education to online learning spaces. That conversion has now happened. Regardless of what occurs in a post-pandemic era, teaching and learning will never be the same. Where does that leave teacher educators (TEs) who grapple with how to best prepare future teachers for the new era? The aim of our research was to determine the impact of supporting a small group of Chilean TEs in re-designing their online instructional approaches by aligning them with contemporary learning theories and goals. In the Chilean context, prior to the pandemic, e-learning was still on the periphery, and transitions from teacher-directed approaches had only just begun. In this 10-month qualitative inquiry, we focused on the TEs experiences online as they adopted sociocultural-based, 21st century instructional designs, and implemented strategies intended to promote agency and engagement in their students. The TEs long-held teacher-centric identities and approaches sometimes interfered in this trajectory. Yet, their heightened critical awareness of the ineffectiveness of traditional teaching paradigms in online settings combined with their grounded efforts and perseverance, resulted in positive evidence of ‘real’change to their designs, practices and identities – changes many have been seeking in educational systems for some time.

The Pandemic Coronavirus Disease (Covid-19) has taken place all over the world. This situation has affected all sectors of human life, likewise in the education sector. Physical distancing policy has forced all countries to close the school. Distance and online learning have become the only option to solve it. This article tried to answer two questions. First, what are the essences of learning spaces in the context of e-learning viewed from the perspective of time and space synchronicity? Second, what are the implications of it to the implementation of teaching and learning in the era Covid-19 and new normal? The researcher applied literature review to answer those questions. Literatures review result showed that learning space can be divided into four categories. This classification provides some implications toward the implementation of teaching and learning in the era of Covid-19 and new normal. AbstrakPandemi virus corona (Covid-19) telah melanda seluruh dunia. Bencana kejadian luar biasa ini telah berpengaruh terhadap semua sektor kehidupan manusia, termasuk sektor pendidikan. Kebijakan jarak sosial dan fisik telah memaksa proses pembelajaran di sekolah terhenti. Belajar di rumah dengan moda pembelajaran jarak jauh dan daring menjadi satu-satunya pilihan untuk memecahkan masalah tersebut. Artikel ini berupaya menjawab dua hal. Pertama, apa esensi ruang belajar dalam konteks e-learning ditinjau dari sudut pandang ruang dan waktu? Kedua, apa implikasinya dalam pembelajaran di era Covid-19 dan tatanan baru? Peneliti menggunakan metode kajian pustaka untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut. Berdasarkan hasil kajian pustaka, diperoleh empat klasifikasi ruang belajar baru dan implikasi terhadap pembelajaran di era Covid-19 dan tatanan baru.

Lecture courses in the English Language Education Study Program of STKIP Setiabudhi Rangkasbitung are still conducted in face-to-face class, so the students who do not attend lectures cannot know the pronunciation material at that time, because the Pronunciation course is a practical course in the English pronunciation system. The E-Learning Pronunciation is built so that lectures can be carried out anywhere and anytime without reducing the quality of the teaching and learning process. Therefore, the students who are left behind can continue to follow the Pronunciation course material, as well as habituating students in utilizing communication and information technology. E-Learning Pronunciation is important to be built to improve the ability of students’ pronunciation when doing distance learning, so that students are clearer and more firm in understanding Pronunciation so that there are no errors in English pronunciation. Participants in this study were first semester students of English education study programs. This study uses an experimental research design with the Prototype System development method and system of testing uses Black box testing.

The COVID-19 pandemic literally stopped most human movement and activities as it initially spread, which included dental practices and dental education. This defined the need for significative changes in teaching and learning with the use of “e-learning” methods, also for traineeships. This study was designed to determine the undergraduate student perception of these new methods as part of their education. This involved 353 students attending the Dental School of the G. D’Annunzio University of Chieti–Pescara, from the first to the sixth years. A questionnaire in Italian and was set-up using “Google Forms” and sent by email to the students. The questionnaire was divided into three parts: the first part included questions for general information, including age, sex and year of course; the second part had multiple choice questions related to their evaluation of the e-learning teaching, using a scale of opinion in the replies to each question (e.g., “scarce”, “fair”, “satisfying”, “very good” and “excellent”); and the third part included two open questions to indicate the strengths and limitations of these new teaching and learning approaches. The categorical variables in the first and second parts of the questionnaire were evaluated using Chi squared tests, setting significance at p < 0.05, while the comments were evaluated qualitatively. The student feedback showed significant appreciation (p < 0.05) of the new methods and the efforts that the lecturers put in to provide lectures of as high a quality as possible. However, a lack of practical training was significantly perceived as an important problem in the structure of their new curriculum (p < 0.05). COVID-19 has been an epic tragedy that has hit the human population not only in terms of health and healthcare, but also quality of life. This includes the quality of dental education within universities. However, the pandemic can be seen to also represent motivation to invest in the necessary technological innovation to deliver the best possible education to our future dentists.

(1) This study demonstrates how a Saudi university has responded to the COVID-19 lockdown in order to examine the success factors and highlight any challenges. The main purpose was to determine the perceptions of students and faculty towards emergency online distance learning from a teaching and learning perspective; (2) A cross-faculty study was conducted: two different self-administered questionnaires were developed for students and faculty, respectively. In addition, data was collected from official reports; (3) The results show that students had a more positive perception of e-Learning despite the difficulties that they may have faced, while faculty results leaned slightly towards a negative perception. However, there was not a definite positive or negative perception, depending on the aspect of teaching that was being evaluated. The study also indicated that faculty and students’ gender had no significant effect on their perceptions. Overall results showed that the university performed well in accordance with three of the five pillars of online learning quality framework in terms of student satisfaction, access and scalability. On the other, improvements are needed to achieve better results for faculty satisfaction and learning effectiveness; (4) The findings present a number of suggestions for increasing satisfaction to improve the online learning experience post COVID-19.
