This paper highlights a strategy for design studio learning due to the restriction during the COVID-19 pandemic that requires an immediate change from physical, face-to-face learning to virtual, online learning. The study examines how creative design and knowledge construction could be monitored throughout the learning process in the virtual studio. The study reflects upon the autonomy and authority of students and tutors, respectively, as they utilise a particular platform for virtual learning. The virtual communication platform becomes the media to accommodate reflection, peer learning, benchmarking and constructive feedback as essential parts of design learning. The study argues that it is essential to establish a strategy to balance the tutor’s space in maintaining their authority and the students’ space in building their autonomy as a design learner in the virtual studio environment.

<p>Nowadays, the communicative teaching has been influenced by the development of technology. Becoming interactive teacher would not be enough if it is not supported by technology usage. Online learning in this case has been a powerful tool to help language learners during their learning progress.  It is said that that online instruction raised the good and average student’s reading performance and the performance of the lowest-performing as well. In listening and speaking, online learning can help students improve their pronunciaton as well the comprehension skill. Therefore, the following study is designed to find out the students’ perceptions towards the use of both online and face-to-face learning in listening and speaking classroom. There are 30 students from the 1<sup>st</sup> and 3<sup>rd</sup> semester of English Language and Culture Departement and they joined the class for 1 semester. Online learning platform used was taken from Cambridge Learning Management System integrated with Unlock 2 and Unlock 4 books as the source of learning. The result shows that most of the students see online learning as an alternative tool to help them during their learning process.<strong></strong></p><strong>Keywords: </strong>blended learning, online learning, face-to-face learning, language learning

This exploratory research compares longitudinal research self-efficacy and retention between a completely asynchronous Master of Social Work (MSW) online cohort and its traditional face-to-face counterpart. This study used a non-equivalent comparison groups design with two groups: online instruction only (n=16) and traditional face-to-face instruction (n=32), with pretest (Time 1), posttest (Time 2) and follow-up (Time 3) standardized measures of practice evaluation knowledge (PEKS) and research self-efficacy (RSES) in a beginning research methods course. Results indicate that students’ knowledge and research self-efficacy improved between pretest and posttest and remained significantly improved at follow-up one year later, with no significant difference between online learners and traditional face-to-face students. Students gain and maintain confidence in research methods and evaluation regardless of the learning platform utilized.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present critical educator reflections on the pivot from the traditional physical accounting classroom to the virtual learning environment amidst COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Design/methodology/approach This paper outlines the reflexive experiences of two accounting educators on their scholarly journey into virtual learning and their inhabiting of the virtual accounting classroom. We adopt a critical stance in exploring what has been lost and insights gained. Findings We heed caution in the ongoing reliance on digital technologies and virtual learning that strip accounting education of its richness and complexity. Although the virtual learning environment brings with it benefits of accessibility and flexibility, it fails to replace the complexity of human connection, authenticity and informal spontaneity found in face-to-face learning. We further contend that COVID-19 presents an opportunity to rethink accounting education. We encourage educators to embrace this opportunity as a force for educational transformation; to reimagine an accounting education that embraces change, ambiguity and humanistic qualities such as empathy, compassion and humility. Originality/value Our critical educator reflections explore the impact of COVID-19 on the humanistic qualities at the heart of education and on the future of accounting education. This paper contributes to the scholarship of teaching and learning during global pandemics and other crises.

<p><em>This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The data in this study are primary data and secondary data. The data collection techniques used were observation, documentation and interviews. The validity test in this study uses four validation criteria that must be met, namely 1) credibility, 2) transferability, 3) dependability, and 4) confirmability. This study aims to determine the results of the implementation of learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in economic subjects in high schools which are guided by pandemic conditions which cause changes in face-to-face learning patterns to online-based learning. The conclusion obtained, 97% of the implementation of learning economic subjects is done online. 75.9% of teachers prefer to use google class as a learning platform that helps teachers deliver material to students. Meanwhile, for miling list media such as WhatsApp, it was assessed that 75.9% of teachers were more effective in communicating with students. The implementation of online learning makes the teacher adapt to the situation, makes learning plans that are implemented based on existing conditions, the teacher must schedule learning, the teacher must prepare learning materials that make it easier for students to learn.</em></p>

This study aims to determine the implementation of online learning and the obstacles that faced by lecturers and students at the Universitas Kristen Indonesia during the Covid-19 pandemic. Changes to online learning nationally are new in Indonesia, including at the Universitas Kristen Indonesia. So far, face to face learning dominates. Online learning at UKI was done briefly and partially, without proper preparation, socialization and provision to lecturers and students. Respondents who contributed to the online learning survey at UKI were 621 students and five lecturers. The findings showed that what was conducted on students and lecturers, turned out that there were no optimal supporting media to facilitated online learning, student quota was limited, students were also bored with online lectures. Some students did not have the media necessary for online learning. From the lecturers’ side, it turned out that not all lecturers understood using the Teams media, zoom and also did not understand the features in it. The positive thing that students get from online learning: more courageous in communicating with fellow students and lecturers. The obstacles that detected are followed up by helping lecturers and students, providing quota assistance for students, tuition fees were paid with lenient payments, providing assistance from alumni and other assistance to support the students. And, for lecturers, assistance was provided even though the implementation was partial.

<p>Blended learning has already become an indispensable part of education in many fields. However, the majority of existing research on blended learning has assumed homogeneity of disciplines. This study suggests that research highlighting disciplinary effects and differences is much needed to effectively develop courses and tools consonant with the characteristics of each discipline. To help close this research gap, this paper focuses on design education and analyses student experiences in a “blended design studio” that combined the Moodle learning management system, live videoconferencing, and social networking media (Facebook) with traditional face-to-face learning (design studio). Students’ perceptions of the methods and tools were elicited through structured and open-ended questions and qualitative variations in responses were categorised. Subsequent quantitative analysis revealed that the characteristics of soft-applied fields require customisation in blended courses and educational system designs in several ways.</p><p> </p>
