“…In the context of regular epidemic prevention and control, the study and living environment, psychological condition, social environment and life support of college students have changed dramatically ( Perz, Lang and Harrington 2022 , Lederer et al 2021 , Tasso et al 2021 , Jiang et al 2021a ). This in turn has an impact on college students' behavioral, psychological and academic performance, such as high frequency use of social media (e.g., Sina Weibo or Twitter), inattention and anxiety.…”

“…However, their perception of COVID-19 and its risks was low and, notably, a large percentage of 69.8% had less positive attitudes towards taking the vaccine. 26 This was in contrast with the results found among Palestinian students, where the majority were found to be willing to take the vaccine, regardless of their gender. 17 In conclusion, this study should be built on in order to improve the knowledge of the students and thus this would help in ameliorating the pandemic and set the foundations for a more appropriate approach if (or when) another pandemic occurs.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to first assess the knowledge and perception of first-year university students in Iraq about COVID-19 in general and SARS-CoV-2 latest variant of concern, and to evaluate the attitudes towards protection measures including vaccination.Study designA cross-sectional study was conducted among newly enrolled students at the American University of Iraq-Baghdad. Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used to test an association between the outcomes measured on a 5-point Likert scale and the binary and the categorical independent variables, respectively. χ2test was used to test the association between nominal categorical variables, while Kendall’s τ-b was used for ordinal variables.ParticipantsStudents (n=432) were invited to fill out a survey specifically tailored to assess their knowledge, perception and attitude towards Omicron variant and COVID-19 vaccines acceptance. 363 students enrolled in various majors participated in this study.ResultsAssessment of COVID-19 knowledge and perception revealed that students still lack reliable info and data about FDA-approved treatment options (70.5%), SARS-CoV-2 variants (96.5%) and approved vaccines. Students’ attitude and practices towards recommended safety measures should be reassessed to better manage the pandemic. Adherence level was shown to be associated with the belief in its capacity to effectively manage the new variant. Interestingly, 85% of the students have received at least one dose of approved vaccine. A significant positive correlation was detected between the level of adherence to recommended precautions and the intention to take a third booster shot if proven effective.ConclusionsStudents’ reliable knowledge about COVID-19 pandemic including the various strains and approved vaccines should be improved to better manage the pandemic and set foundations for a more appropriate approach when another pandemic occurs. Special workshops should be organised to ensure that students and the public have a more trusted source of information about COVID-19.

“…This in turn has an impact on college students' behavioral, psychological and academic performance, such as high frequency use of social media (e.g., Wei xin, QQ, Sina Weibo or Twitter), inattention and anxiety. Compared to face-to-face learning, online (distance) learning has different characteristics such as physical distance [18], technology dependency [18], network requirements [19], low practicability [20], high hardware requirements [15], and lack of teaching experience [20], which has an immediate and long-term impact on students' physiology, psychology and life [20,21]. Besides, an important difference of online learning that distinguishes from face-to-face learning is the difficulty of prompting learning communities that helps to enhance teacher-student empathy and social interactions between students [22].…”

The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted the normal teaching and learning in universities, which poses significant challenges to college education. The traditional face-to-face learning mode has been switched to online (distance) learning, causing various influences on students' academic performance. As higher education plays a central role in technology innovation and society development, it is of great importance to investigate and improve online education in the context of COVID-19. This study distributed online questionnaires to college students from 30 provinces or municipalities in China to evaluates the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) factors of shifting from traditional learning to online learning during COVID-19 Pandemic. The SWOT analysis has been employed to construct 16 kind of internal and external evaluation factors and 4 kind of improvement strategies for assess online education. The basic data of subjective weight method -AHP comes from the questionnaire survey, and the weight value of SWOT factors is determined through the questionnaire survey results. The fuzzy MARCOS approach is used to select the most suitable strategies for its effective implementation. Several coping strategies are suggested to improve the online education in post-pandemic era, which is essential for higher education and promoting a civilized and sustainable society. "By reforming and innovating the teacher led teaching mode, stimulate students' interest in learning, get rid of the boring learning state, create a good learning atmosphere and improve the teaching quality" is the most effective strategy to enhance the online learning experience and increase students' satisfaction. This methodology is applicable with a case study concerning the students' online education in pandemic and the validity of this approach is presented through comparative analysis and sensitivity analysis. Through example verification, it is found that SWOT method is suitable for online education evaluation research no matter how the research object changes.
