This current study is to empirically validate the importance of student's behavioural engagement on online teaching during a coronavirus-2019 disease pandemic. The global spread of coronavirus-2019 disease has affected every aspect of business, including education, resulting in the shift of classroom to online teaching. Keeping in view the growing concern about students’ attentiveness, connectivity, participation, and interaction in online classes, the authors underlined the critical need for paying empirical attention to this issue. While addressing a major empirical gap, the present study tested and found the significant role of e-learning efficacy, e-learning resilience, and teachers’ instructional innovation in boosting students` online behavioural engagement. Additionally, the study found a thought-provoking direct and interacting role of teachers’ instructional innovation. Therefore, the implications of the findings indicate that leaders in educational institutions need to invest in psychological resources that emphasize innovation and creativity in instructional methods for teachers to enhance student engagement in an online environment.

The purpose of this research is to find out what difficulties special education instructors’ face when it comes to educating children with special needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants in this research were 30 special education instructors who were chosen through a purposive sampling procedure to serve as respondents. In order to identify the difficulties and challenges faced by special education instructors, both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used. In an attempt to comprehend the data, a descriptive analysis was performed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, special education instructors who worked with students who had learning impairments did not get any technology assistance in order to educate the students. According to the findings of the research, the instructional method for special learners has a suboptimal learning environment as a result of the absence of web-based instructional teaching. The survey's major findings identified 15 difficulties, with the most significant of these being 'insufficient e-learning resources', 'lack of training for online teaching', 'giving feedback to students', and 'making the students to attend online classes', as per survey respondents. According to the results, practitioners and curriculum designers may use the information to build and improve the special education system, teaching techniques, and technologically imbibed instructional learning among special education instructors.

Context: With the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid growth of online education, Iranian universities of medical sciences began to hold online classes for students. Accordingly, the present study aimed to examine different aspects of online education in medical universities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This narrative review study was to review studies on online education during the COVID-19 pandemic in Iran’s universities of medical sciences. To this end, the PubMed and Sciencedirect databases as well as the Google Scholar scientific search engine were searched on April 20, 2021 using the following keywords: ‘online education,’ ‘virtual education,’ ‘virtual learning,’ ‘e-learning,’ ‘COVID-19,’ and ‘Iran’. Results: The present findings revealed Navid, Adobe Connect, and SkyRoom platforms as the most popular online teaching tools in Iran’s universities of medical sciences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main challenges in online education in Iranian universities of medical sciences was students’ non-equal accessibility to appropriate hardware, software, and communication tools, students and professors’ insufficient knowledge and unfamiliarity with information technology tools and e-learning, lack of proper interactions between professors and students, and the lack of a suitable platform for practical clinical training and internships. Conclusions: Educational simulation systems and online education support systems are useful in teaching clinical, practical, and internship courses to students and promoting interactions between teachers and students.

The Impact

This research work explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on classrooms teaching in school and colleges and on finding e-learning solution to ensure the continuity of the teaching process. The physical presence of the student in the classroom has been hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. The only way in which the classes can continue is through online teaching programmes. This research tries to examine how effective is online teaching in a higher educational institution in Oman and worldwide. Here we will see the three dimensions of online education, namely (a) preparation, (b) execution, and (c) verification. Verification leads to negative and positive results. These results reflect real-life experiences and ideas shared by the stakeholders, the instructors, and the students who participate in online classes. We will also explain and examine various challenges and solutions involved in making this system more effective. This study gives us an insight into the mechanism, dimensions, and strategies of E-learning.

Electronic Channels

E-learning systems have received considerable attention from researchers, educational institutions, and organisations for their anticipated benefits. The objective of e-learning systems is to provide students with educational services via electronic channels. User dissatisfaction is considered the main issue facing universities in regards to e-learning systems. Service Delivery Quality (SDQ) can be deemed an essential concern for management and customers. This research investigates the role of SDQ on user satisfaction on two levels: the effect of SDQ on user satisfaction, and the effect of each sub-dimension of SDQ on user satisfaction. This paper reports on a study which surveyed 720 external students at an Australian university. The findings highlight the critical role of SDQ on user satisfaction. Based on the results of structural equation modeling and content analysis, a set of recommendations was formulated. The aim was to help improve service delivery quality, user satisfaction, and greater overall success of e-learning systems.

The Government

The Covid-19 epidemic made the educational institutions to adopt online education systems in an attempt to continue teaching safely as well as to comply to the instructions from the government. Online education systems have been there for many years but they have gained popularity recently, more in the form of a necessity rather than a luxury. This presented a new challenge for the institutions, teachers and the students as they needed to adapt to the online teaching systems. E-learning is the outcome of development of science and technology and is different from traditional teaching in many ways. In traditional teaching the physical presence of the student and teacher at same site is a very crucial factor, while in E-learning the presence is virtual. There are two types of e-learning, synchronous and asynchronous. E-learning has many advantages as well as disadvantages, but how gracefully it gets incorporated in the traditional medical teaching, that only time will tell.
