During the Covid-19 pandemic, universities adopted several learning modes to ensure the contention of the education activities. They adopted many methods of learning such as online once (online real-time with no recorded lecture; face-to-screen instead of face-to-face), online repeatable (online real-time with recorded lecture), Self (pre-recorded lecture only), and blended (pre-recorded lecture with face-to-face learning). Since all these methods are adopted without any evidence of their acceptance by the students, the rouse of this study is to evaluate each of these modes and identify the most preferred mode of learn-ing. Also, this study tested the new method of blended learning preferred by the students. A questionnaire was shared among the students in two faculties in the University of Kelaniya Sri Lanka, and 903 were responded. Accordingly, this study found that the majority of the students preferred online real-time lectures together with the recorded lectures. This method was again tested with a selected student group and confirmed. Thus, this study recommends face-to screen lectures together with the recorded lesson is the most appropriate method to adopt during the new normal context.

The University Abdou Moumouni (UAM) of Niamey in Niger mainly focused on traditional face to face learning, and even the existence of the African Virtual University since the years 1999 did not change the situation. It is only after the official opening at the University of the Francophone Digital Campus in December 2003 that lecturers and students started overseeing and taking advantages of all the benefits of e-Learning and distance learning. The present paper builds on the author’s personal initiatory experience in e-Learning to highlight some specific challenges that traditional universities such as the UAM face in their efforts to introduce e-Learning and distance learning as a new mode of course delivery. The study shows that even though challenges are big, political and institutional support can freshen the perspectives and change opportunities into realities.

The paper aimed at examining the perceived difference between knowledge gained from online and face-to-face learning modes as a result of the intensities (viz., high and low) of comparative interaction level and ease of attending the classes, in the context of management courses in Nepal. Based on the survey (complete enumeration) of all management students (n=224) attending the online classes at Nepal Open University from 5th to 25th Jan., 2020, the study applied descriptive statistics and factorial ANOVA using the General Linear Model in analysing data to pursue the research objectives. Nepalese management students’ experience with their present online classes in terms of the knowledge gained was found to be equivalent to their previous experience with the face-to-face mode. It also discovered that intensities of the comparative interaction level and comparative ease of attending classes had a significant impact on comparative knowledge gained. The findings should offer instrumental inputs to design effective higher education policies blending the online and face-to-face learning modes.

The relation between assignment and exam performances of the university students and their academic procrastination behaviors in distance and face-to-face learning environments was investigated in this study. Empirical research carried out both in face-to-face and online environments have generally shown a negative correlation between academic procrastination and academic performance. However, the effect of academic procrastination on assignments in distance learning setting has not been analyzed extensively. To understand the interaction between academic procrastination and the learning environment; assignment and exam performances of eighty-eight university students in face-to-face (FtF) and distance learning (DL) environments were investigated. According to the findings of the study, students’ academic procrastination and assignment scores were negatively correlated in both environments but especially in DL setting. Contrary to this, academic procrastination and exam scores were correlated to each other only in FtF environment. On the other hand, there was no correlation between total assignment and exam scores for DL group, while a medium positive correlation was found in FtF group. The findings of binary logical regression analysis demonstrated that predictive value of the DL environment for assignment score is much stronger than academic procrastination behavior of students.

As the last institution at the end of the education system, the university is committed to preparing competent professionals for each field of expertise, including future teachers. An essential goal in the training of pedagogical specialists is to get to know the potential of the personality and to enhance its development at all key levels. The situation with Covid-19 has highlighted its growing importance, given the urgent need to transition from face-to-face learning to distance education. In the course of the rapidly spreading epidemic, the role of ICT in education became clear. It has been proven that in the conditions of global crisis it is the information and communication technologies that successfully mediate the learning process. It was found that digital competencies are vital for the subjects in the pedagogical interaction, because they ensure the dialogue in the virtual educational environment. Undoubtedly, the foundation of its qualitative implementation affects the motivation for selfactualization of interacting between teachers and students. After identifying the need to improve the quality of distance education, this article presents the advantages of meaning-centered management of virtual educational environments in the academic preparation of pedagogical specialists. The following questions become relevant: (1) What is the meaning?; (2) What will develop?; (3) How will it be formed?, which respectively constitute the conceptual, personal and activity aspect of the pedagogical interaction from a distance.

Reading Activities

This study aimed to investigate how far internet-based reading activities can enhance learners’ reading skills in face-to-face learning experience at the faculty of education and arts, University of Tabuk in Saudi Arabia, for the Academic Year 2021. This study also examined students' learning preferences, experiences, and participation in traditional and non-traditional classrooms as blended learning has come in vogue at the university due to Covid19 restrictions. This quantitative research consisted of 90 university EFL learners from the faculty of education and arts at Tabuk University. The study employed descriptive statistics to analyze learners’ responses.  The findings showed that internet-based reading activities and peer moderated discussions could enhance learners’ reading skills in the face-to-face EFL classes at the university. Internet-based reading activities also led to greater language output in the other three language skills viz., speaking, listening and writing when these are undertaken in the physical mode. However, gaps exist in their application to student learning preferences and whether they match student preferences for reading activities. Limited literature is existed on following up internet-based reading activities with physical learning in traditional classrooms. A single overarching research question guided this study: How far can the innovative method of internet-based reading enhance learners’ reading in face-to-face learning environments.  The results proved encouraging drills as the previously challenging reading drills were perceived as engaging by the learners after the brief intervention. However, whether the results are temporal or reliable can only be ascertained with larger samples and varied learning environments.

Pademi covid-19 datang secara tiba-tiba dan telah merubah semua sisi kehidupan, kebijakan dan pembatasan yang diterapkan diberbagai negara menjadikan manusia mengurangi interaksinya dengan manusia lain, hal tersebut dilakukan untuk memutus rantai penularan virus covid-19. Kebijakan pemerintah Indonesia meniadakan pembelajaran tatap muka baik tingkat universitas maupun sekolah-sekolah dan menggantinya dengan pembelajaran online/daring membuat penurunan kunjungan dan pemanfaatan perpustakaan oleh pemustaka. Dengan kenyataan tersebut diperlukan sebuah strategi agar perpustakaan khususnya perpustakaan perguruan tinggi tetap bisa berperan sebagai jantung perguruan tinggi. Salah satu strategi layanan yang bisa dilakukan perpustakaan dimasa pandemi ini adalah dengan cara menyediakan layanan referensi vitual. Layanan referensi virtual merupakan salah satu strategi perpustakaan peguruan tinggi dengan menyediakan layanan referensi secara online sehingga layanan tersebut tetap bisa diakses dimanapun berada tanpa harus datang langsung ke perpustakaan. Layanan ini juga sebagai wujud nyata peran serta perpustakaan perguruan tinggi dalam menerapkan social distancing dan mencegah perpustakaan sebagi klaster penularan baru. Pandemic covid-19 came suddenly, has changed all sides of life, policies and restrictions applied in various countries make humans reduce their interaction with other humans, it is done to break the chain of transmission of the covid-19 virus. The wisdom of the Indonesian government to eliminate face-to-face learning at both the university and school levels and replace it with online learning makes a decrease in visits and utilization of libraries by the library. With this fact, a strategy is needed so that libraries, especially college libraries, can still act as the heart of the college. One of the service strategies that libraries can do in this pandemic period is to provide virtual reference services. Virtual reference services are one of the strategies of high learning libraries by providing online reference services so that they can still be accessed anywhere in the world.

After two months of online learning, students of Sai Gon University in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam could gain recognition of benefits and drawbacks of online learning in comparison with face-to-face learning. This article shows which learning mode was preferred more and the reasons by students of the university through a survey of 180 undergraduates from six general English classes. As a result, the number of participants who chose face-to-face mode was the same as that of who preferred online learning. The explanations of face-to-face learning voters were face-to-face interactions, less distraction factors, better environment for communication skill practice and more various learning activities. Flexibility of learning place and time, comfort and accessible online materials and lecture notes were the reasons for the online learning voters. A few participants could not decide their favorite mode of learning since both had their own outstanding benefits.
