E-Learning has proven to be the only resort as a replacement of traditional face-to-face learning methods in the current global lockdown due to COVID-19 pandemic. Academic institutions across the globe have invested heavily into E-Learning and the majority of the courses offered in traditional classroom mode have been converted into E-Learning mode. The success of E-Learning initiatives needs to be ensured to make it a sustainable mode of learning. The objective of the current study is to propose a holistic E-Learning service framework to ensure effective delivery and use of E-Learning Services that contributes to sustainable learning and academic performance. Based on an extensive literature review, a proposed theoretical model has been developed and tested empirically. The model identifies a broad range of success determinants and relates them to different success measures, including learning and academic performance. The proposed model was validated with the response from 397 respondents involved with an E-Learning system in the top five public universities in the southern region of Saudi Arabia through the Partial Least Squares regression technique using SmartPLS software. Five main factors (Learner’s Quality, Instructor’s Quality, Information’s Quality, System’s Quality and Institutional Quality) were identified as a determinant of E-Learning service performance which together explains 48.7% of the variance of perceived usefulness of ELS, 71.2% of the variance of use of the E-Learning system. Perceived usefulness of ELS and use of ELS together explain 70.6% of learning and academic performance of students. Hence the framework will help achieve the sustainable and successful adoption of E-Learning services.

Ситуация с пандемией обострила необходимость более широкого применения дистанционных образовательных технологий в рамках системы смешанного обучения. Цель нашей работы заключается в раскрытии сущности и содержания понятия «смешанное обучение». Реферативный обзор отечественной и зарубежной научно-методической литературы показал, что смешанное обучение рассматривается исследователями по-разному: как система обучения, интеграция форм обучения, интеграция традиционного преподавания и онлайн-обучения, образовательная программа, педагогический подход. Мы полагаем, что специфика смешанного обучения не может быть сведена к своеобразию отдельных его элементов - только его содержания или методов и форм его организации. «Смешанное обучение» рассматривается нами как целостная педагогическая система, которая характеризуется качественным своеобразием содержания учебного материала, средств, методов и форм организации процесса его освоения и усвоения учащимися. Она интегрирует дидактические возможности традиционного очного обучения и электронного дистанционного обучения и предполагает активное участие учащегося в планировании, освоении и усвоении учебного материала, в применении знаний в практической деятельности, в контроле пути, времени, места, темпа и траектории обучения. The pandemic situation has exacerbated the need for greater use of distance learning technologies in blended learning. The purpose of our work is to reveal the essence and content of the concept of blended learning. An abstract review of domestic and foreign scientific and methodological literature showed that blended learning is considered by the researchers in different ways. They are learning system, integration of forms of education, integration of traditional teaching and online learning, educational program, pedagogical approach. We believe that the specifics of blended learning cannot be reduced to the originality of its specific elements: only its content, or methods and forms of its organization. Blended learning is considered by us as an integral pedagogical system, which is characterized by a qualitative originality of the content of educational material, tools, methods and forms of organization of the process of its development and assimilation by students. It integrates the didactic possibilities of traditional face-to-face learning and e-learning, involving the active participation of the student in the planning, development and assimilation of educational material; application of knowledge in practical activities, control of the path, time, place, pace and trajectory of learning.

On account of its contagious nature, COVID-19 has resulted in various containment measures and mandatory isolation, affecting the personal interaction between students and instructors tremendously. In the absence of face-to-face interaction and traditional classroom teaching, computer-based learning has come out as the closest substitute for offline teaching. In addition, adult and youth students’ perceptions of courses’ effectiveness towards online learning as compared to traditional face-to-face learning have largely been overlooked and thus should be designed based on the needs of adult learners. This paper aims to fill this void in the literature, presenting results indicating all students’ positive perceptions towards e-learning and thus acceptance of this new learning system. It also empirically demonstrates the significance of e-learning in the time of this COVID-19 crisis. The results also point out surprising differences in students’ perceptions of the importance of communications and collaboration, effectiveness, and self-efficacy, and surprisingly differences exist between the performances of youth and adult learner groups. Under the current debates on the cost and teaching quality of higher education, the findings herein should help educational institutions in their improvement of higher education and student enrollment and retention.

The pandemic of Covid-19 caused the Indonesian government to issue regulations about the implementation of e-learning as a substitute for face-to-face learning. Zoom Cloud Meeting application is one of the e-learning media used in order to achieve students understanding in the midst of pandemic. The research was conducted through a qualitative approach with a case study in one of the department which has the largest number of students at Universitas Komputer Indonesia. Through the purposive technique, six research informants were obtained, consisting of quality assurance coordinator, lecturers and students involved in the learning process using Zoom Cloud Meeting application. Results showed that planning contained an overview of learning activities to be held with Zoom Cloud Meeting media as well as preparations made by lecturers and students. Implementation is the use of Zoom Cloud Meeting application as the media of e-learning to deliver learning materials, in the same way as face-to-face learning, consisting of lectures and discussions. Evaluation is related to technical barriers and the development of learning materials that should be adjusted to e-learning method through Zoom Cloud Meeting application. Researchers concluded, the use of Zoom Cloud Meeting application as the media of e-learning in general has successfully achieving students understanding in the midst of pandemic through various features that support the implementation of e-learning, this happens after all parties involved can adapt to the e-learning system. For that, it is necessary to conduct further research about the impact of e-learning in the improvement the learning quality of students. This research was conducted as part of e-learning development, although it cannot completely replace face-to-face learning but at least supports the learning process by utilizing technological advances so that students are more active and independent, because the learning process is no longer centered on lecturers.

This article reports on the use of blended learning in higher education. Blended learning has become popular in higher education in recent years. It is a move beyond traditional lecturing to incorporate face-to-face learning with e-learning, thereby creating a blend of learning experiences. The problem is that learning in higher education is complex and learning situations differ across contexts. Whilst there is face-to-face contact at some institutions, others offer distance learning or correspondence learning. In each context, the mode of learning may differ. The challenge is to cater for various learning opportunities through a series of learning interactions and to incorporate a blended approach. The aim of this study was to examine various ways of defining blended learning in different contexts. This was done through an examination of experiences of the use of blended learning in different higher education contexts. The study presents a case of blended learning in a postgraduate course. The experiences from all these cases are summarised and conclusions and recommendations are made in the context of blended learning in higher education in South Africa.
