This paper aims to reveal factors that affect the students' participation in a speaking online class. The subjects are the second and fourth semester students of English department, Language and Culture Faculty, UNTAG Semarang. The research was held during the even semester of the academic year 2020/2021. The research method used in this study is a qualitative method. The data was based on the interview and the questionnaires filled by the students. Some technical issues came up in the online class such as internet connection which mostly became the hottest issue and also the device being used which was sometimes not compatible to the program used in the teaching and learning process. Those issues somehow have affected the online teaching and learning process. The other issues affected in online learning are students’ contribution and students’ condition. For those, it is hoped that the research will give a clearer explanation especially for the teachers who are struggling on teaching the online class and face a similar situation. Therefore, they can cope and handle it better. Keywords: online learning, participation, speaking class

The pandemic that has hit the world has forced us to do learning indirectly or is often referred to as online (Daring). Online teaching and learning process requires some adjustments both on the teacher's side and the student's side. One of the adjustments is the need to seek technology and adaptation using technology. The currently widely used technology is online meeting services, such as the Zoom Meeting application, Google Meet, Video Calling via the Massager application, or other similar applications. To adapt to the technology, teachers at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah 01 Pekanbaru strongly desire to deepen ownership of the Zoom application as one of the media used for online learning. This training aims to provide an understanding and hands-on practice of using Zoom Meeting technology to increase learning effectiveness.

A study was carried out to assess the effectiveness of online teaching and learning at the College of Science and Technology, Royal University of Bhutan. As a case study, two modules under the electrical engineering program taught at the sixth and eighth semesters respectively were chosen. A non-statistical purposive sampling method with a mixed-mode research approach was used to assess the effectiveness of online teaching and learning during the COVID 19 pandemic with 73 respondents. Analysis of the data revealed that students were coping up well with the sudden shift of lesson delivery from traditional offline mode to online mode and learning outcomes were achieved with 43% of the respondents agreeing to it. The offline mode of teaching and learning is still the choice of mode of learning followed by mixed-mode learning. Online learning is also able to engage students meaningfully with 44% of the respondents saying they were able to communicate in the online class effectively. Generally, students were not satisfied with the online lesson mainly citing weak internet connectivity, increased distractions at home, and lack of motivation. The case study also revealed that online learning gave more flexibility, it is more convenient, and learning at its own pace is one of the greatest benefits of online learning which shows that CST has a good foundational platform for online teaching and learning. The study also highlighted the importance of changing the instructional strategies to suit the online lesson delivery for learning to be effective.

Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has shifted the academic environment into distance learning. In the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Faculty of Pharmacy, an Enriched Virtual Mode of Learning was used to deliver the online teaching and learning process. This study aimed to determine the influences that online learning had on the standard of pharmacy education. Methods: A qualitative case study research design was utilised and gathered the perspectives of eight UST pharmacy professors. Results: During thematic analysis, several themes were identified which were rooted in the ten key components of online learning. Conclusions: The study concluded that online learning had more negative influences than positive influences on pharmacy education. Regarding pharmacy courses, the Quality Control, Microbiology, and Public Health clusters were identified as the most difficult to teach online while the Biochemistry and Pharmacognosy clusters were the least. Recommended adjustments to improve learning outcomes focused on enhanced review methods during the course audit.

This community service program carries out training on optimizing the use of Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) in online learning, primarily due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The training is given to 16 participants of SMAIT Abu Bakar Yogyakarta teachers. This training aims to introduce supporting media that can be used in the online teaching and learning process more interactively and present it live streaming via YouTube. In the pre-test, 69% of participants had never been familiar with the term OBS. Only 19% have observed people using OBS; in fact, none (0%) have ever used OBS. After the training, participants gained additional knowledge/insight about OBS, and 94% agreed that the training that had been provided made learning more structured about OBS. Participants stated that 100% agreed that OBS could be further optimized for learning. The enthusiasm of the participants can be seen from after the training. 100% of the participants will participate again if this kind of training is held

During the times of COVID-19, teachers quickly had to address the barrier of virtual learning and adapt to a new world of online teaching. This chapter will look into effective practices for online teaching and learning. Additionally, it investigates parent communication in the classroom and how that has changed and developed during this season of COVID-19. This chapter will explore how the learning environment rapidly changed, developed, and improved. It also looks at useful resources that allow for online learning to continue to evolve and grow. In addition, this shift into an online world and how it can be transferred over when learning returns full time to classrooms to grant continued, uninterrupted learning are explored. Looking at how students from low socio-economic backgrounds were affected with the immediate shut down of schools and services, we must examine how to better set our students up for success for the future. Reflecting how schools can better prepare families will create an environment that is proactive, not reactive.

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020 provided both a need and an opportunity for educational institutions in Sydney to explore new ways of providing teaching and learning for their students. UBSS was able to respond quickly because it had already prepared to introduce online learning. In mid-2019, the institution had decided to offer an online option and a senior staff member and support staff had been working since then to convert existing product into suitable online format. By the time the demand for online teaching and learning arrived, the institution was already well placed for the conversion.

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.
