Traditionally, emotion and cognition have been viewed as polar opposites and this view has been incorporated into theories of learning. One reason for this may be a lack of clarity in defining emotion. In fact there are other perspectives on how emotion and cognition, emotion and learning, are related. These considerations emerge with renewed vigor with the move to online education. Theauthor interviewed eleven students studying online. These students identified emotions which were critical to their online learning. Evidence from the literature and from the interviews positions emotion as central and essential to the teaching/ learning process.

The global health disaster COVID-19 has imposed a self-refrainment from social gathering to contain the disease, because social distancing is the only shield from community spread. Home and work places are altogether giving an unanticipated, unpredicted and unpleasant milieu due to global spread of COVID-19. The teaching–learning process is no exception, with the closure of all educational institutions as a protective step to save lives. The teaching–learning process has been reflecting a very wide and deep impact of COVID-19. With all teachers and learners confined to their places of stay, learning has been impacted to a large extent, with a sense of uncertainty, insecurity and dilemma around effective learning. In fact, the COVID-19 pandemic has thrown the mission and rigour of teaching–learning out of gear. With all classrooms shut, the pandemic has exposed teachers and learners more towards the online learning mode, with no other option perceptible at this point of time. Though online education has always been embraced by academics as a supporting tool, switching over completely to the online mode of learning has raised some serious concerns pertaining to its efficacy and the reluctance of learners in embracing it as a substitute of the regular mode of learning. This study reveals the perception of 2,895 learners on the efficiency of online learning as a substitute of the regular mode of learning. The results show the acceptance of online learning only as a supporting tool to regular learning instead of as a substitute of the regular learning mode on the basis of various factors of effective learning, such as content, pedagogy, assessment and rigour.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the perceptions and challenges of Albanian students during online learning carried out due to COVID-19 pandemic. The students were invited via email to give their perception of ongoing online learning. Responses were obtained from 627 college students from various study fields, such as natural, medical, and life sciences. The results showed that students had a more positive attitude towards the classroom learning environment. The main challenges that students faced were the unavailability of internet connection and the lack of technology devices. Students enrolled in technology-based programs and also those with high academic performance were more comfortable and satisfied with online classes (p0.001). The % of students who preferred the learning process be continued in the classroom was higher than those who preferred online education or a combination of both on-campus and online learning environments (p0.001). Students firmly state that online learning cannot replace the classroom. The findings suggested that Albanian students are not familiar enough with technology-based education. Online teaching must be integrated gradually into Albanian education depending also on students’ characteristics. The learning process must be effectively organized by professors, taking into account students’ dissatisfactions and difficulties with e-learning and considering the overall limitations of this method.

Firstly, to evaluate the influence of online learning upon the performance of students and secondly, to test the motivation of online learning towards the students. For this purpose, a detailed questionnaire was developed in order to get the response of the students. The questionnaire was built up and distributed to almost eighty respondents in which we got back a perfect response in complete shape only fifty.  Graph analysis has been used in order to present the response of the respondent. Mix response was recorded in which slightly negative response was in high portion. Furthermore, results showed that 60 % of respondents answered they are not happy with the online learning process and they want to have a traditional learning process that is on campus. Similarly, in each question, an extraordinary negative response toward online learning is recorded such as 76 % respondents said that they are not satisfied with this implementation of online learning. Also, they are facing hurdles and 58 % of people showed their response one of the big challenges toward online learning is a poor internet connection. 60% claimed that the instructor is not helping them to understand this whole process as a tool of online learning. The possible reason that was claimed from respondents are following: (i)This online process is first time they are interacting with,(ii) Lack of training of such online tools for the online learning process, (iii) once any student is facing trouble while this online process less support is available from the department and technical staff of the university

The main aim of the AHKME e-learning platform is to provide a system with adaptive and knowledge management abilities for students and teachers. This system is based on the IMS specifications representing information through metadata, granting semantics to all contents in the platform, giving them meaning. In this platform, metadata is used to satisfy requirements like reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system provides authoring tools to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, and tools to create courses allowing users with different roles, promoting several types of collaborative and group learning. It is also endowed with tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects based on metadata, where students can use quality educational contents fitting their characteristics, and teachers have the possibility of using quality educational contents to structure their courses. The learning objects management and evaluation play an important role in order to get the best results in the teaching/learning process.
