This paper is set out to explore the students’ attitudes towards online learning effectiveness using theBlackboard platform in three Saudi public universities (Taibah, Hail, and Al-Baha) during COVID-19pandemic. It examines the main learning activities which ensure the achievement of education qualityduring unprecedented online learning. These activities are online learning preference, efficiency,participation, achievements, success, and assigned assessment tasks. The survey-based questionnairemethod was used to elicit students’ responses regarding online learning effectiveness. The total numberof students who participated in the survey is 333 (entirely regular bachelor’s courses in differentmajors). The main section of the questionnaire contains several questions about leading online learningactivities. The coefficient relation of the p-value is highly correlated when tested using Pearson’s rand Spearman’s. The score of Cronbach’s Alpha is 0.93, which indicates (greater internal consistency)an acceptable level of reliability. The overall mean is 0.20, and the standard deviation for the sampleis 0.095. The findings positively emphasize the significant influence of online learning on students’academic achievements in most learning factors except in an assigned assessment factor, which isstill problematic in the online learning process.

Among online learning factors mentioned in the education literature, it is argued that online participation is the strongest factor which contributes to online learning effectiveness. Drawing from the theory of online learning as online participation, an online learning experiment was conducted in a well-known public University in southern Taiwan. There were seventy-five International MBA students participated in the study. The online learning course contents were specifically designed for studying trust in Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). Furthermore, the online learning course was designed by incorporating active case-based learning to increase students' trust in ICTs. The experiment results showed that high online participation treatments could significantly increase online learning effectiveness, measured by grades, perceived skill development, and the level of students' trust in ICTs. Discussion and limitation of this study are discussed in the paper.

<p>Nowadays computers are becoming smaller and more powerful, they are put into use in many areas, and one of the important implementations is the assistance with language learning, which is called CALL. In China, college English teaching has experienced lots of frustrations and difficulties. At the end of 20th century, the mode of CALL gradually appeared in China, but it was still immature and not systematic. At the beginning of 21th century that CALL was carried out extensively in China. During this period, many universities and colleges have tried experiments on online learning and many of them have got quite fruitful achievements. Henan Polytechnic University is one of them. After careful consideration, the university decided to adopt the English online learning system produced by Higher Education Press to carry out a comprehensive college English teaching reform in the non-English majors’ students, who are freshmen and sophomores. In the four academic semesters, students have 4 periods of classroom-based learning and another 2 periods of online learning every week. So far, the university has worked on the experiment for 10 years, and now, it is the high time to check the students’ attitudes toward English online learning. Only in this way can we get the valuable first-hand suggestions to improve online learning mode.</p>
