This chapter analyzes the assessment literature related to the current crisis and compares the differences according to global and local perspectives. The qualitative analysis aims to examine the significant effects of unexpected COVID-19 challenge (restrictions, online learning, remote learning) on learning outcomes (how to redefine assessment in the pandemic) and to identify the best experiences collected (the key modifications assumed in assessment). The data collected from studies published between March 2020 and March 2021 were investigated using coding techniques and thematic analyses. The results of the content analysis demonstrate that in e-learning there are new types of feedback in e-classes, multi-person meetings, remote working, adaptive tools of assessment, and modified strategies. Anxiety, stress, and depression involve taking on new trends: new best practices, new forms of psychological counseling, new attitudes towards assessment and the reexamination of paradigms, theories, and models of representation knowledge.

<p>During the Covid-19 pandemic, learning was carried out online. It takes student activeness with the right approach and method to provide maximal learning experiences and learning outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to describe the application of the facilitated e-learning approach combined with the 5E method on student activeness in learning. This paper used the descriptive qualitative research method. Students are imagebearers of God so a teacher should view students as special and valuable. Students have reason and ability so it can be said that they are active individuals. Therefore, a teacher should always encourage their activiteness during the learning process. Implementing the facilitated e-learning approach with the 5E method is the right solution because the students carry out learning activities independently with the teacher in the role of facilitator.  This has the potential to encourage student activeness in online learning so that students can get the maximum learning experience and learning outcomes and teachers can provide God-centered learning. In applying these approaches and methods, a teacher needs careful and measured preparation in order to provide the maximum learning experience even though it is carried out online.</p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA ABSTRACT: </strong>Selama pandemi covid-19, pembelajaran dilaksanakan secara daring.

<span>This paper reports on a study carried out in Thailand investigating the relationship between students' use of an e-learning system and their learning outcomes in a course on Business Statistics. The results show a clear relationship between accesses to the e-learning system, as measured by number of "hits", and outcomes, as measured by final results. While the results do not establish a direct casual connection, they indicate that under appropriate conditions a component of online study provides significant benefits to learning. In this, it contrasts with the results of recent studies that find no relationship between access and results. Quotes taken from interviews with some of the students illuminate the relationship between the online learning environment and their own learning.</span>

Background: Nursing student often experience anxiety and lack of motivation during their training program particularly during examination, and this may affect the achievement of learning outcomes. Teaching methods that might increase motivation and potentially increase learning outcomes have been developed, including video simulation and online learning. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of integrating video simulation into online learning on students’ motivation, anxiety level and competence. Methods: A pre-test/post-test one group design was utilized. Two video simulations containing nursing skills were integrated into the e-learning system which can be accessed for three weeks by 76 respondents who took Basic Nursing course. The level of motivation and anxiety were measured before and after the intervention, while the competence was measured after the intervention. Results: The majority of students passed the skills examination. This study indicates a significant increase of students’ motivation after the intervention (p value < 0.001), but the level of anxiety among respondents increased. Conclusion: The integration of video simulation into e-learning system can enhance student’s skills performance and motivation. Although there is also an increase in anxiety, findings of the study can be applied to other subjects and nursing skills with attention to aspects that cause student anxiety.
