COVID-19: Digital Literacy and Heutagogy Learning Approach in the ODL Environment

Studies show that online learners are depressed when committing themselves to online learning. However, little data are available about the factors that contribute to the presence of depression. This study aims to reveal the factors by conducting a systematic literature review on six online databases. Based on the review, this study has found that the factors could be categorised into poor perception of online learning mode, infrastructure, resources and support issues, personal weakness and problem, and the COVID-19 phenomenon. Given the findings, the COVID-19 phenomenon interestingly seemed to be the main factor and should be further investigated in the future.

Factors that Contribute to Students’ Attrition in Open and Distance Learning (ODL) Environment: A systematic review

Izham

et al. 2022

This paper presents a systematic literature review of open distance learning (ODL) research that reports empirical findings on the factors that contribute to students' attrition in the ODL setting. Several prior literature reviews identified self-regulated learning as one of the critical factors that may lead to students dropping out. However, there has been much less understanding of the factors and challenges faced by the students in ODL learning and delivery, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic years. To address this limitation, this study provides a step toward a better understanding of the critical factors contributing to dropout risk, particularly in the ODL environment.

“…However, there was little preparation for the change in learning approaches regarding module and learning design, technology, digital reference materials, and teacher competencies (Shuhidan et al, 2021). This has some bearing on the quality of knowledge and student satisfaction.…”

This study investigated the determinants of students’ satisfaction with their online learning experience during the COVID-19 pandemic. The data was collected among 241 undergraduates enrolled in information management from a selected universities in Malaysia. The Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) results revealed that the independent variables, namely course design and digital resources, influenced students’ satisfaction with their new online learning experience. The findings have several implications for developing and maintaining practical and student-friendly online learning spaces in higher education.
