Online education is increasingly becoming common in higher education forsupporting traditional education as well as emerging as an opportunity fordelivering entire education online. In Online education, multimedia materials areused to support learning and the ability to adapt the course content to meet awider range of learner interests and abilities. This research investigates thesatisfaction and performance of the students in TLE and VLE and also findsdifferences in gender based students’ satisfaction and performance. Further, thepreferences of the students in selecting their Learning Environment are analysed.Data have been collected from four educational institutions with a sample of size200 duly taken for consideration. The findings portray that maximum students aresatisfied with their learning environment and performing well in their respectiveenvironment. However, most male students especially of TLE want to switch overfrom TLE to VLE due to certain reasons. Management or higher authorities in TEmay try a launch an optional parallel VE to attract more students and to give analternate option for their traditional student to perform better.

Online education offers strong intrinsic potential for advancing and augmenting teaching and learning through broadening and deepening access. Proponents of online education further claim extrinsic potential – that it should be less costly and just as effective as traditional education, if not more so. They consider the instruction equally or more effective relative to such factors as the depth of course content presented, student outcomes and breadth of access (Duderstadt, 2000; Allen & Seaman, 2003; Gomory, 2001).1 Are these claims accurate? How would we gauge their accuracy? What data would we collect? How would we make sense of that data?

Over the past 30 years, the internet has evolved from being the web of content to being the web of thoughts and the web of things in business, communication, entertainment, and education. To stay competitive, higher education institutions have had to train students on the wide range of skills and experiences and to move to digital platforms to better meet the needs of students, employees, and organizations. This chapter provides an overview of the development of online education, the 1.0 to 5.0 phases of web development, and how the field of education has adapted to these phases. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of mobile learning such as MOOCs, course collaboration software, and how smartphones can be used in courses to interact with peers and faculty. This chapter then presents a case study illustrating how online courses can successfully integrate Web 4.0 and 5.0 technology. It concludes by discussing the benefits and challenges of adopting some disruptive technologies and on how educational institutions can meet the needs of the next generation of students.

Creativity and high performance in learning processes are the main concerns of educational institutions. E-learning contributes to the creativity and performance of these institutions and reproduces a traditional learning model based primarily on knowledge transfer into more innovative models based on collaborative learning. In this paper, the authors focus on the preliminary investigation of factors that influence e-learning adoption in Jordan. As a pioneer country for e-learning systems in the Middle East, an investigation has been completed for one of Jordan’s universities that has implemented e-learning. Factors are defined through the analysis of unstructured interviews with developers and users of the e-learning systems, and Leximancer content analysis software is used to analyze the interview’s content. Main factors include Internet, legislations, human factors, and Web content.

The purpose of the research is to establish a pattern for promoting the implementation of online education for students’ learning. The research methods are as follows: comparative analysis; regression analysis; systematization, generalization. As a result of regression analysis, it has been established that the value of the determination coefficient indicates that the regression model by 60% explains the dependence of online education in 30 countries between the results of students’ access to computers and the cost of education. It has been determined that a favorable climate for online education is formed in Denmark, Austria, Norway, Switzerland and Luxembourg. As a result of a students’ survey, it has been revealed that online education is better than traditional education (39%). However, some respondents believe that online education is inferior to university education (21%), and respondents said they would recommend online education. It has been found that obstacles in online education require immediate solutions, namely: ensuring uninterrupted Internet connection, reducing the process of social isolation, using video conferencing; it also requires the implementation of measures to ensure high-quality online education in educational institutions.

Online education consists of courses conducted through the internet. In these courses, students generally conduct e-learning management and can view their course content and academic progress as well as communicate with their classmates and teachers. Although online classes require a greater amount of motivation compared to a classroom-based course, it became a necessity out of precaution concerning the coronavirus disease. Turkey, like other countries, wanted to continue students’ education, but COVID-19 required an educational shift to online systems to prevent the spread of the disease. Although online education does not require a specific space for learning, it does require students to be self-paced and have a peaceful environment. It also requires the preparation of all lecture materials. Teachers and students both should be attentive to facilitate successful delivery and acquisition of knowledge. Online education is an effective way of teaching, but is less effective in comparison to traditional education. In this study, the author would like to share some findings and suggestions for effective online classes for students studying Korean as a foreign language in Turkey while participating in an online Speaking Korean class during the coronavirus period.

The Jordanian Ministry of Higher Education has recently released general guidelines for universities to adhere to in online education. Applying a student-centered approach in online learning was highly stressed in the ministry’s guidelines. In response to the ministry’s vision, the present study aims at investigating the effectiveness of online education in promoting student-centered learning at three Jordanian universities (two private and one public). One hundred and nine translation senior students were surveyed on their perception of the application of a student-centered approach in the translator training programs. The questionnaires were designed in open format items on which respondents were required to comment freely. However, data were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. As the ratio of male students to female students in the programs is almost 3:7, the responses received from female students were almost three-folds the responses received from male students. The results of the study revealed that male and female students responded positively on four of the seven questioned aspects and negatively on three of them, with no gender-based statistically significant difference in the responses. The positive perceptions in online learning pertain to autonomy and responsibility, translation authentic projects, absence of teacher-centered learning and reflection of students on their own learning, while the drawbacks were reflected in areas related to teamwork, peer review, and time management.   Received: 23 June 2021 / Accepted: 2 September 2021 / Published: 5 November 2021

As in medicine and other social domains, there is a long-standing tradition in research on education of measuring the comparative costs and benefits of different interventions or modes of operation. Prominent examples of such interventions as assessed in this manner have included curricular reform, personnel restructuring, special programs, infrastructure improvements and class size innovations. The goal of these measurements is to identify the best course of action by gauging the relative ratio of cost to benefit. Policy may then be informed by the results of those measurements. Cost-benefit (C/B) studies include a range of research that may focus on effectiveness, efficiency, utility or simply overall benefits. Policy concerns and other constraints on (or drivers of) research may favor one sort of C/B study over another. Nowhere is this clearer than in the case of online learning and technology, which by its nature is an excellent candidate for cost-effectiveness (C/E) research.

The article considers a syllabus as a core component of the educational program and an essential tool for describing an academic course for both a teacher and a student. Nowadays, there is gradual automation of document flow in educational institutions, including educa-tional and methodological documentation. It is required to develop the university's information system and the algorithm itself for the formal and content-wise review to automate the syllabus validation and verification process. The syllabus review process at St. Petersburg State University, RANEPA, and HSE was considered in the study. Therefore, a universal algorithm applicable to information systems has been designed. Since March 2021, ITMO University has been widely using “Educational Program Maker” web service to manage educational program elements. The developed system utilizes educational analytics methods which are widely used in online education for student behavior patterns evaluation and education results improvement. The proposed algorithm is implemented for syllabi development and review. Introduction of the module for the syllabi creation in a standardized and unified format allows to describe the prerequisites and post requisites of academic courses and link various educational activities with learning outcomes, making it possible to reveal the course content. Introducing the verification modules made it possible to automate the process of syllabi approvement
