Due to the spread of the Covid-19 virus, the Pandemic Era shifted face-to-face learning to online distance learning, which faced many challenges. One of the challenges is the decreasing level of student motivation and interactivity. LMS to organize learning materials, assignments, and other learning activities is an alternative that facilitates the learning process during the pandemic. Through LMS, lecturers can share materials, give assignments, and provide feedback to students through an integrated online system. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of using LMS Canvas at Sampoerna University, especially pedagogic quality during the pandemic. In this study, researchers used a questionnaire adapted from the LMS Evaluation model by Mtebe & Raisamo (2014) by adding pedagogical quality, including teaching quality, interactivity quality, and student understanding quality. The results of the study state that these three components have a positive effect on user satisfaction and the use of LMS.

The Indonesian government is currently facing a Covid-19 pandemic that is still beyond its control. From print media to electronic media, the mass media continues to report on the number of victims infected with this virus, and the number is declining. One of the predictive steps to prevent the spread of this virus is to maintain social distancing. As a formal educational institution, the school responded quickly to this situation. The school does not hope that by changing the face-to-face learning mode, the virus will spread in its environment. I.e. through distance learning or online learning (online). Therefore, this is the task of the teacher, that is, to be able to create various activities in online learning that can attract students' interest in learning. Especially learning English requires not only theory, but also a lot of practice. Therefore, interactive learning in the form of activities is required to allow students to actively participate in the online learning process. This research aims to obtain important information about the effectiveness of online distance learning (PJJ) for primary schools in Kediri City. The research methods used descriptive qualitative methods to 20 respondents. According to the analysis data, the research results show that online distance learning for elementary schools is considered to be quite effective.

Blended learning provides an opportunity to rethink the ways in which instructors and learners use face-to-face and online distance learning modalities. Sometimes, this opportunity is missed and the resulting blended course is no more than a mechanical mix that serves pragmatic purposes but fails to reshape learning. This chapter rethinks the structure and dynamics of blended learning experiences and considers what it might mean to use different teaching/learning modalities. It explores the possibilities, challenges, and design of blended learning from a perspective of variation theory. It also reviews strategies to make explicit the differences in structure and dynamics of face-to-face and online distance environments that are encountered by the learner and suggests the benefits and limitations of such strategies.

As measure against the rapid spreading of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) which now has reached global level, Indonesian government established Large-scale Social Distancing (LsSD). As consequence, learning method used in junior and senior high school is substituted from face-to-face learning in class to online distance learning, including for science and biology. This study was conducted to know software preference used by science and biology junior and senior high school teachers for online learning during LsSD measure. A total of 189 science and biology junior and senior high school teachers from various area had given their response via questionnaire. Data was analyzed using quantitative descriptive method. About 57% respondents had never manage online learning before COVID-19 pandemic while the remaining 43% had experience in managing one before, however almost all managed online learning. Non-paid software used the most (81%) among respondents to manage online science/biology learning. Software types used were social networking (64%) especially WhatsApp, learning management system (LMS) (51%) especially Google Classroom, teleconference applications (12%), and assessment software outside of LMSs (15%). Software chosen were mostly non-paid, easily accessed by all people, already familiar among Indonesian, and its interface were easily mastered.

Due to COVID-19, non-F2F (non-face-to-face) learning is being conducted in educational sites around the world. Unlike theoretical subjects, which have a variety of applicable non-F2F learning content, in practical subjects, learners may undergo many difficulties due to many learning activities. Therefore, this research tries to design and develop a mobile application that allows learners to perform a self-diagnostic on their learning progress. In this research, we conducted a mobile application usability evaluation for 36 students who participated in non-F2F Arduino practice learning. To this end, we applied the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implement, and Evaluation) model to develop a self-diagnostic mobile application for students’ learning progress according to the learning content. The research tool modified and distributed the question item appropriate for this subject’s study for the mobile usability evaluation that was used in the previous study. This research applied the ADDIE model to analyze the characteristics of students and learning contents, including designed learning contents, database, menu structure, developed learning contents, and mobile application. After using this in non-F2F practice learning for 15 weeks, a mobile application usability evaluation was conducted. As a result of the study, due to receiving usability scores between 3.53 and 4.42, it was found that the learning progress self-diagnostic in non-F2F practice learning was essential and that mobile applications were useful in non-F2F practice learning. Additionally, 33 out of 36 students responded that it would be useful for their learning if they actively used it in other subjects as well. We have found that leveraging self-diagnostic mobile applications through the mobile application usability evaluation tool can be useful for non-F2F practice learning. Additionally, it is expected to be useful for non-F2F practice learning if additional research is conducted on other factors as well such as teaching presence, online learning engagement, and learning flow in the future.

Motivation And Learning

Статтю присвячено проблемі мотивації до навчання студентів-першокурсників університету в умовах карантинного дистанційного навчання, для яких вимушений і раптовий перехід на дистанційну форму співпав з періодом їх адаптації до навчання у виші. Проаналізовано переваги та обмеження дистанційної форми навчання в плані мотивування студентів до досягнення навчальних цілей. Розкрито специфіку мотивації студентів в умовах дистанційного карантинного навчання. З метою вивчення особливостей мотивації до навчання студентів першокурсників в умовах карантинного дистанційного навчання використано методику «Шкали академічної мотивації» Т.О. Гордеевої, яка дозволяє визначити рівень розвитку різних мотиваційних конструктів в контексті теорії самодетермінації. Визначено, що у більшості студентів під час академічного року 2020-2021 домінувала внутрішня мотивація, а загальною тенденцією в динаміці мотивації студентів було незначне зниження показників за всіма шкалами як внутрішньої, так і зовнішньої мотивації. Виключенням є показники шкали амотивації, яка несуттєво зросла. Порівняння отриманих результатів із даними про мотивацію першокурсників, що навчались очно, показало, що мотивація студентів, що навчалися в умовах дистанційного та змішаного навчання, виявилась достовірно вищою за всіма шкалами внутрішньої мотивації, а також за шкалами мотивації самоповаги та інтроеційованої мотивації. Виявлені особливості, на наш погляд, визначають специфіку адаптаційних процесів першокурсників в умовах карантинного дистанту. Також отримані результати свідчать, що, попри негативний вплив умов локдауну, студенти виявились достатньо мобілізованими для подолання викликів адаптації до незвичних умов навчання. В свою чергу умови дистанційного навчання спільно з викликами пандемії створили підґрунтя для активізації процесів саморегуляції першокурсників і набуття ними суб’єктного досвіду. Водночас цих умов вочевидь недостатньо для того, щоб такі процеси набули масовості та більшої глибини. Література Гордеева, Т.О., Сычев, О.А., & Осин, Е.Н. (2014).

Abstract: Due to the quick spread of the COVID-19 disease, education institutions across the world had to be closed, and there was an overnight shift to online distance teaching and learning. Majority of the teachers in Pakistan are used to the traditional way of face-to-face teaching and online teaching came as a challenge. Like most of the countries, Pakistan too was not prepared for the sudden shift from face-to-face to online distance learning. Although COVID-19 impacts almost everyone in society, students with disabilities, both physical and mental, are one of the most vulnerable groups due to the restrictions in their activities. Furthermore, studying online devoid of the human touch has induced mental stress among these students. Hence this study focused on the online teaching and learning processes in Pakistan, its challenges and modern pedagogies for emergency situations particularly mental health for students with and without learning disabilities, teachers. The study includes some suggestions for the target group to cope with the sudden catastrophe of COVID-19.   Keywords: COVID-19, Learning Disability, Mental-health, Modern Pedagogies, Online Learning.

Malaysia is moving towards a developed country status and it is imperative that the healthcare provided be at a higher standard than it is today. As members of the healthcare team, nurses play an essential role in the provision of healthcare. As such it is timely that nurses’ education be upgraded. As most of them only have a certificate or diploma in nursing, one way to upgrade the nurses is by providing opportunities for a baccalaureate degree. However, due to the shortage of nurses, nurses find it a challenge to enroll in a full-time on-campus programme. One way to help nurses meet the challenge is by providing an online distance learning programme to Malaysian nurses. And, to ensure the success of the online distance learning programme, it was realized that the nursing students need to be adequately prepared for an online learning environment. How much preparation will be determined, among other things, by their prior experience and skill in using technology as well as by their belief and attitude towards online distance learning. A survey was conducted on a cohort group of students during a face-to-face precourse orientation, that is, prior to the start of the online program. The findings of the survey are presented and discussed in the paper and implications for the future are highlighted.

World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) outbreak, caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 to be a pandemic on March 12, 2020. In response to that, Malaysia has announced movement control order effective on March 18, 2020, leading to the near-total closures of education center. University closures impact not only students, lecturers, and families, but have far-reaching economic and societal consequences. In response to that, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has introduced the use of online distance learning and open educational applications and platforms that lecturers can use to reach learners remotely and limit the disruption of education. Even though UiTM has already adopted the integrated face-to-face and online learning approach in the classroom since many years ago, however, the commencement of solely using online learning platform, in the absence of face-to-face meetings is challenging. In addition, it is also crucial to note that the previous study on the determinants of the intention and effective use of online distance learning is scarce. Thus, this study seeks to identify the significant relationship between the intention and the effective use of an ODL among the students. Findings from this study reveals that four out of five determinants (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition and intrinsic value) found to be significantly relationship with the behavioral intention of the students to use online distance learning. Behavioral intention also was found to be significant with use behavior. Although the intrinsic values (new determinants) has contributed to the theory, it is recommended that the same study will be carry out to the entire of education center, either public or private.   Keywords: Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Condition, Intrinsic Value, Behavior

'Instant Messaging' (IM) and 'Presence,' which is essentially the ability of being able to detect if other users are logged in on the network and send them messages in real time, has become one of the most popular applications of the Internet, causing people to want to stay connected to the Internet for inordinate amounts of time, a phenomena that also fosters a sense of "online community," that perhaps no other application has done previously (Alvestrand, 2002). This research looks at the use of mobile devices to send instant messages that can carry much more information than the short message service (SMS) messages, but would be free to use, notwithstanding the price of getting online. We present a prototype IM system that can be used as a viable means of communicating and learning in higher education establishments. There is some evidence to show that learning using mobile devices reduces the formality of the learning experience, and helps engage reluctant learners and raise their self-confidence. In order for the learning process to be successful in online distance learning, unlike in the traditional face-to-face learning, attention must be paid to developing the participants' sense of community within their particular group. Instant messaging – or IM – is a natural medium for online community building and asynchronous/ synchronous peer discussions.

The present study examined the relation between students’ preferred mode of learning (online, face-to-face, and hybrid) and their opinions about the effectiveness of an online distance learning English language course under the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic. The students favoring online distance learning constituted a significantly smaller proportion of the group versus those in favor of face-to-face instruction (p = 0.004). A significant relation was established between the students’ preferred mode of education and their opinions about the course effectiveness (p < 0.001). The students whose preferred form of education was compatible with online distance learning rated the course effectiveness at 93%, those favoring face-to-face education at 58%, and the supporters of hybrid education at 81%. Students’ comments and suggestions for the teaching practice in the post epidemic time are discussed.
