The World Health Organization has declared the spread Covid-19 virus as a pandemic shortly after its rapid spread. There have been many preventive actions taken in order to control the spread in our country as well as in the world in general. These preventive actions have affected every aspect of life. In education, schools have been shut down due to Covid-19 pandemic, and online classes and distance learning have been established. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate the experiences and perspectives of classroom teachers regarding distance learning and online class processes. This research is a case study based on a qualitative approach. Data was collected from semi-structured interview forms that were created by the researcher and it was analyzed for the content. When distance education and online class experiences of classroom teachers who educate the youngest classes of elementary school were analyzed, it was concluded that the classroom teachers who joined the case study had no prior experience regarding distance education and online classes. In addition to this, as the distance education process started, most of the teachers who joined the case study participated in training offered and improved their knowledge and skills. Another conclusion is that teachers mostly organized their classes via EBA which is the IT Network of the Ministry of Education and Zoom during the online class and distance education process. Teachers who joined the case study have expressed that there have been similarities between the face to face education and distance learning in terms of curriculum and role of the teacher. In addition to this, they communicated that the process of method / technique have been different and certain aspects of evaluation have been missing. Teachers also expressed that the most frequent problems they experienced have been the lack of computers and internet connection. Another finding was distance education and online classes have been more exhausting compared to the face to face classes. Regardless, it was clear that online classes and distance education have created efficiency in terms of time and space, and by reducing mobility, it made it easier to be protected from the pandemic.

This study was conducted to reveal the aspect of distance education studies on teaching of mathematics with the evaluation by class teachers during the Covid-19 Pandemic period. 24 primary school teachers from Onikisubat district of Kahramanmaras province have participated in the research. The semi-structured interview form developed in line with the expert opinions was applied to the primary school teachers separately. This study was required in order to evaluate the events experienced in the distance education process due to the coronavirus pandemic and the effects of the pandemic on the field of education in the direction of the opinions of the class teachers. Qualitative research was carried out to interpret any situation from a different perspective in the study, and a case study has been conducted to reach the depth of the situation. As a data collection tool, a semi-structured interview form was prepared with the approval of expert opinions. After the data were brought together, content analysis was carried out by giving similar descriptions and describing them in a way that the reader could comprehend. The sample of the study consisted of teachers who personally experienced the process in the nearby environment, which consists of easily accessible situation sampling in order to accelerate the study. It is thought that it will be important to work properly execution of the processes that may occur in such times by determining the causes and consequences of the situations experienced in the field of education due to reasons such as the suspension of face-to-face education and the cessation of schools after the pandemic in the world. As a result of the research, suggestions will be made for the studies that can be done about teaching mathematics in distance education.

Shed Light

<p>The face-to-face mode is always considered as the normal mode of teaching, and distance education is often understood as a remedy for the lack of material and human resources necessary to conduct training; but to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID19), the distance course system has been launched in different countries to ensure continuity of teaching during the period when courses are stopped. In order to shed light on the role of distance learning during the spread of the coronavirus and its effectiveness in successfully continuing the learning process, an investigation was carried out in the Moroccan context. This survey was launched as a questionnaire with 565 participants; they are students and teachers from primary, secondary, university and professional training. The objective is to answer several research questions concerning the current use of distance education during the COVID19 pandemic. The results of this survey are presented in this article as well as their analysis showing that solutions and alternatives must be adopted in order to improve the teaching and learning process in the event of a situation like COVID19.</p>

Like all the countries in the world affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, and as part of a prevention and anticipation policy, Morocco has imposed several measures with the objective of limiting the dramatic spread of the coronavirus. In the field of education, several directives and actions have been imposed in order to deal with the repercussions of this pandemic. Digital technologies have never been more important in maintaining pedagogical continuity. This research work aims to analyse the transition from face-to-face teaching to distance education during the Covid-19 pandemic in Morocco, and however supposes the articulation of a triple problematic. The first part is concerned with outlining in general the actions of the Moroccan government and the Commission of University Presidents (CPU) to ensure educational continuity. The second part focuses on the measures adopted by Moroccan universities for students during this period of confinement. And finally, the third part looks at Mohammed V University (UM5R) as a case study and reveals the development of ICTs by this establishment as well as the evaluation by students of the EAD practices implemented by the UM5R facing this exceptional crisis.

Conceptual Foundations

Open and Distance Education (ODE) has proven to be a viable alternative for teaching and learning with more inherent benefits compared to the traditional model of education. This mode of teaching and learning aimed at eradicating the challenges of the face-to-face mode of learning such as distance, age, work schedules, limited access and other factors that have made the face-to-face mode of learning rigid. ODE flexibility is evidenced in the ability of learners to learn ubiquitously at their own pace, anywhere, anytime using smartphones, laptops and desktop computers. As ODE grows and expands, the need to review its conceptual foundations, approaches and also to receive feedback from learners, employers and other stakeholders are becoming more imperative. This study employed an investigative approach via the use of online survey forms to elicit pertinent information regarding the learners’ perceptions and experiences at Ladoke Akintola University of Technology (LAUTECH) Open and Distance Learning Centre (LODLC). A total number of 2362 LODLC students participated in the online survey out of a total learners’ population of about 5,000. 54% of the respondents confirmed the adequacy of the LMS and the course material modules with more than 60% being able to easily access and download course materials from the LMS, 57% of the respondents rated the e-tutors to be effective knowledge facilitators while 60% believed the e-tutors stimulated learners’ interest by providing satisfactory answers to questions asked. This information amongst others will help administrators and management of LODLC programmes to make informed decisions about the conduct of the centres’ activities and adjust accordingly where necessary to improve service delivery.

 This article aims at identifying the opportunities and the challenges of implementing the online classes in Tribhuvan University (TU) which is the oldest and the largest university in Nepal. The opportunities and challenges have been identified based on the information collected through comparison of the involvement of the students in the face-to-face class before COVID-19 and the online class after the effect of Corona Virus in TU. I have collected the necessary information through naturally occurring environment involving the bachelor level fourth year students who have been studying English education in a TU campus. Although the article discusses some crucial factors that lead to the realization of the need of online class in Nepal, it attempts to justify the emergence of COVID-19 as an opportunity to commence the hot discussion focusing on the need of online classes and its implementation in TU. However, the implementation seems to be more challenging due to some common and hidden problems realized during the implementation of the online class in one of the oldest constituent campuses, i.e. Mahendra Ratna Multiple Campus (MRMC), Ilam. Online classes can be run more successfully if the the common and hidden problems are addressed that have been identified in this article. The article indicates some serious challenges of implementing the online classes in TU; however, online classes can be implemented even in TU more successfully addressing those challenges if the stakeholders take some serious steps to address those challenges.

Assessment Results

This retrospective study presents a comparison of assessment results achieved by distancelearning students and classroom-based students undertaking the same module in a degree course. The purpose of the comparison is to provide some objective measurement of the quality of distance education in relation to conventional classroom-based education. The authors have selected three groups of students, who have all undertaken the same module in the B. Sc Health Studies degree programme offered by the University of Paisley. One group (in Paisley) undertook their studies by means of conventional classroom-based education, the second (in Hong Kong) by supported distance learning with face-to-face contact in the form of tutorials, and the third (in a geographically dispersed group in the United Kingdom and other countries) by supported distance learning with no face-to-face contact. The results obtained by these three groups of students were analysed. Because of the differences in the size of the groups, the Kruskal- Wallis 1- Way Anova test was applied to validate the face value findings. The authors include findings from the literature comparing distance education with conventional education and from cross-cultural studies to present their data in context. Analysis of the assessment results showed that students from all three groups were successful in their studies, but the students studying by distance learning obtained significantly higher end-of-module results than their classroom-based colleagues. This latter finding reflects the conclusion that other investigators have reached In their discussion the authors identify educational, cultural and personal factors that may help to explain their findings. A limitation in the study is that it concerns only one module in the degree programme. The research now moves on to comparing students who have undertaken the whole degree programme by the means describedDOI:10.1080/0968776020100110

This article aims to identify the main advantages and disadvantages of distance education for both students and the educational enterprise. The methodological procedure chosen was an exploratory case study aiming at an analysis of how effective this modality can be in relation to other traditional forms of teaching. In the course of the research it was possible to identify that the main advantage for the institution is the increase in the number of students attended. From the student's point of view, the main advantage is the flexibility offered by distance learning courses. It is possible that the distance modality continues to grow steadily, but it still seems utopian to say that at some point in the history of education, face-to-face teaching will become obsolete and thus be totally replaced by EAD. Not all students have the profile required to enter a distance learning course.

The Face

The use of videoconferencing in psychotherapy remains largely unexplored. Videoconferencing compromises the range and quality of interactional information and thus might be expected to affect the working alliance (WA) between client and therapist, and consequently the process and outcome of therapy. A single case study exploring the effect of videoconferencing on the development of the WA in the psychological treatment of a female–male transsexual is described. The self-rated Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) was used to measure client and therapist perceptions of the WA after each session over 10 sessions of eclectic therapy conducted over a videolink. The serial WAI measurements charting the development of the WA in 4 cases of 10-session, face-to-face therapy by Horvath and Marx1 were used as a quasi-control. Therapist and client impressions of teletherapy are described. WAI scores were essentially similar to the face-to-face control group except for lower client-rated bond subscale scores. It is suggested that client personality factors accounted for this difference and that videoconferencing did not impair the development of an adequate working alliance or successful therapeutic outcome.

A inserção da educação a distância nos processos educativos formais apontou possibilidades de formação em nível superior para aqueles que estão distantes dos centros de formação e, para além disso, desvelou objetos de investigação. Um exemplo disso são os materiais didáticos, tão necessários para a efetivação da aprendizagem na modalidade a distância. A gama de materiais é grande e, por isso, é interessante conhecer o modo como eles vêm sendo desenvolvidos e utilizados por aquelas instituições que ofertam cursos nessa modalidade. É sabido que há necessidades distintas entre os alunos da educação a distância e os de cursos presenciais, que precisam estar contempladas nos materiais didáticos. Mas de fato estão? Considerando a organização do espaço de estudo como importante no processo pedagógico, como os espaços dos materiais didáticos vêm sendo organizados? Que elementos têm sido utilizados para o desenvolvimento de layouts para materiais didáticos utilizados em cursos a distância? Tais questões são tema deste escrito, que busca, a partir de um estudo de caso, observar materiais didáticos produzidos para cursos brasileiros a distância. Um olhar transversal sobre tais materiais aponta semelhanças com os produtos elaborados para a educação presencial, tão conhecida por muitos.Palavras-chave: Educação a distância; Materiais didáticos; Layout.?Didactic Materials for Distance Education: Observing LayoutsAbstract The inclusion of distance education in formal educational processes pointed training opportunities in higher education for those who are distant from training centers and, in addition, unveiled research objects. An example of this are the didactic materials, as necessary for effective learning in the distance. The range of materials is large and therefore it is interesting to know how these are being developed and used by those institutions that offer courses in this modality. It is known that there are different needs among students of distance education and presence courses that need to be addressed in didactic materials. But actually are? Considering the organization of study space as important in the educational process, as the spaces of didactic materials have been organized? What elements have been used to development layouts for the materials used in distance education courses? This questions are theme of this this written that will, with a case study, observe didactic materials produced to Brazilian distance courses. That observation shown us that analyzed materials have similarities with didactic products for face to face education.Keywords: Distance education; Didactic materials; Layout.
