Banyak sekolah dan universitas termasuk Universitas Negeri Malang (UM) tidak dapat melanjutkan pertemuan tatap muka, sehingga perkuliahan secara daring menjadi alternatif yang dipilih. Akan tetapi, oleh karena sistem pendidikan di Indonesia cenderung menggunakan sistem konvensional, perkuliahan daring menghadirkan berbagai tantangan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini didesain untuk mencermati implementasi dari perkuliahan daring. Secara spesifik, penelitian ini meneliti persepsi mahasiswa Program Studi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris tentang pelaksanaan perkuliahan daring yang mereka telah jalani selama pandemi ini melalui media WhatsApp. Dengan menyebarkan angket dan menganalisa data secara kuantitatif deskriptif, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa memiliki respon positif terhadap proses belajar mengajar daring melalui WhatsApp. Namun, tidak dapat dipungkiri bahwa mereka tetap membutuhkan interaksi langsung dengan dosen yang tidak dapat diperoleh melalui kelas daring ini. Dari penelitian ini dapat diambil kesimpulan bahwa WhatsApp sebagai media pendukung terbukti efektif dalam menggantikan kegiatan pembelajaran offline sebagaimana dipersepsikan oleh mahasiswa yang berpartisipasi dalam penelitian ini.

The Council of Legal Education, which is the regulatory body for the legal profession in Nigeria, has made it clear over the years that the training of lawyers cannot be adequately carried out through correspondence or distance learning, which can be interpreted as online learning or remote learning. As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, various online teaching and learning methods were adopted by educational institutions all over the world, to ensure the continuity of the learning process, truncated by the pandemic. This study, carried out through a multidisciplinary approach, is an assessment of the perception of students on the level of effectiveness of COVID-19-imposed online teaching and learning, especially, in comparison with the traditional classroom setting among legal education students in Nigeria. From the study, it was observed that students perceived the online learning method to be more effective than the traditional face-to-face method of delivery but were less focused during the online classes as compared to physical classes. Furthermore, many of the students opined that online classes should be discontinued after the lockdown. Despite students’ distractions during online learning, there is a need to recognize that online learning is a panacea for the crisis at hand (the COVID-19 pandemic), and for as long as it lasts, there may not be a complete return to the physical classroom setting. The study suggests ways of minimizing the challenges that students who do not find online learning effective face with its use, while also calling on the Council of Legal Education to revisit its stance towards the adoption of online learning as a suitable teaching method to be incorporated into legal education.

The research focuses on identifying the way in which Romanian universities managed to provide knowledge during the Coronavirus pandemic, when, in a very short time, universities had to adapt the educational process for exclusively online teaching and learning. In this regard, we analyzed students’ perception regarding online learning, their capacity to assimilate information, and the use of E-learning platforms. An online survey based on a semi-structured questionnaire was conducted. Data was collected from 762 students from two of the largest Romanian universities. The results of the research revealed that higher education institutions in Romania were not prepared for exclusively online learning. Thus, the advantages of online learning identified in other studies seem to diminish in value, while disadvantages become more prominent. The hierarchy of problems that arise in online learning changes in the context of the crisis caused by the pandemic. Technical issues are the most important, followed by teachers’ lack of technical skills and their teaching style improperly adapted to the online environment. However, the last place was assigned by students to the lack of interaction with teachers or poor communication with them. Based on these findings, research implications for universities and researchers are discussed.

Different educational institutions use different communication tools to promote learning because the expansive nature of the Internet and the accessibility of technology have generated a surge in the demand for web-based teaching and learning across the nations (Chaney, 2010). The online teaching and learning have become a necessity for education around the globe during COVID 19-pandemic. There are several challenges which are faced during online classes because the students must have strong self-motivation skills and be very disciplined to achieve the desired learning results.

The participants of the study are students of the BA level majoring in English Language and Literature and German Language and Literature at SEEU in Tetovo, North Macedonia. To answer the research questions, we have used a student questionnaire, interviews, and student reflection papers written during the online courses. Overall, the research indicates that benefits of online coursework outweigh the challenges that students face during the online classes. From a safety perspective, this study emphasizes the need to consider the impact of online teaching on student motivation and the paper raises important questions about how to best support students enrolled in online courses. Further research is needed in order to better evaluate the benefits, challenges, and useful strategies of successful students enrolled in online courses.
