“…Online learning is a learning methodology that allows students to learn in a virtual environment using Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools. This method allows students to access their learning materials remotely anywhere, anytime (Alkhalil, Manasrah, Dabbour, Bashayreh, Abdelhafez & Rababa, 2021) [2].The online learning is composed of synchronous and asynchronous modes in which the synchronous mode provides direct interactions between teachers and students while the asynchronous mode allows students to interact with their teachers before or after the online class through emails, messages and thread discussions (Selvanathan, Hussin & Azazi, 2020 [3]; Zainol, Hussin, Othman & Zahari, 2021 [4]). Here, online learning or e-learning will be referred to as Sudden Screen Learning (SSL) as it involved sudden transitions in the learning process from the traditional face-to-face learning into an emergency online learning.…”

“…Recent studies identified its benefits as well as challenges (Adedoyin & Soykan, 2020 [1]; Pham & Ho, 2020 [6]), student satisfaction with online learning (Alkhalilet. al., 2021) [2], the role of technology (Starkey, Shonfeld, Prestridge & Cervera, 2021) [7], e-learning review of literature (Sharin, 2021) [5], etc. Among theories adopted in the past studies are DeLone and McLean's Information Systems Success Model (Lin 2007) [8], Theory of Planned Behaviour (Lim, Seow& Lam, 2020) [9] and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), combining both student-teacher in a single framework (Umrani-Khan & Iyer, 2009) [10].…”

COVID-19 pandemic has forced schools and academic institutions all over the world to shift to remote online learning overnight. This is the longest disruption to the traditional face-to-face (physical) classroom learning ever. As the shift was unexpected, many stakeholders including teachers, administrators, parents and the students themselves have to embrace the Sudden Screen Learning (SSL) with or without sufficient resources, strategy and plans. As a result of social distancing in order to curb the spread of the pandemic, some students struggled to catch up with online learning challenges as family incomes deteriorated. This research intended to investigate the factors that push private university students to accept and adopt the sudden, remote online learning by applying the UTAUT constructs namely Performance Expectancy (PE), Effort Expectancy (EE), Subjective Norms (SN) and Facilitating Conditions (FC), taking into account the students’ Learning Styles as well as the moderating effect of Trusting Beliefs. The expected outcomes of the research will provide useful insights to the school administrators and regulators in understanding students’ SSL actual usage behaviour, thus, devising effective e-curriculums that will adhere to the same or even better quality of education as an assurance to the future of the younger generations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced almost all universities in the world to switch from face-to-face to an online teaching format. In response to this sudden transition, the Mechanical Engineering department at the Al-Zaytoonah University in Jordan had to adapt to this change within two weeks in mid-March 2020. In addition, the department had to comply with the strict ABET accreditation regulations, among which is the indirect assessment of each course by the students each semester. They judge to what degree ABET-mandated student learning outcomes (SO) are actually met in any course designated to deliver the outcomes. Another ABET accreditation regulation is direct assessment, which is conducted by the instructor and relies on an instructor’s own evaluation of tasks designated for certain student learning outcomes. The aim of this study is to determine if, during the COVID-19 pandemic, students’ assessments changed significantly, in accordance with the ABET mandate, by using statistical analyses of students’ responses on an online completed survey. An independent samples t-test was used to evaluate the statistical importance of the observed differences. The SO coverage rates were quite high during the pandemic, although, generally, somewhat lower than their pre-pandemic equivalents. In this study, the Air Conditioning and Heating (ACH) course was selected to compare direct and indirect student learning outcomes before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Consequently, our findings revealed a positive effect on SO performance during the COVID-19 pandemic and due to e-learning teaching.

“…The spread of Covid-19 outbreak in almost all countries around the world recently has affected the learning systems of some educational institutions from face-to-face into online learning (Rusmiati et al, 2020;Pokhrel & Chhetri, 2021). According to Verawardina et.al (as cited in Alkhalil et al, 2021), state that by using the internet and communication tools, online learning methods allow students to learn virtually. This allows students to access subject matter without limitation of time and place and helps them to limit their physical contact.…”

The spread of Covid-19 is affecting education systems around the world and transform the learning from face-to-face to online learning. Interaction is important pattern to share knowledge between teachers and students. Previous research has said that interaction could also encourage students to master the subject matter. This study aims to describe the EFL teachers’ perception towards classroom interaction during Covid-19 pandemic especially on how the interaction between teacher-student, student-teacher, and student-student synchronously which is assisted by Google Meet. The research method used in this study is descriptive case study and taking data by conducting observation, interview, and documentation. Based on research result, teacher perceive online classroom interaction in balance emotion, exploratory talk tends to be implemented in online classroom interactions, Indirect talk of asking questions is the dominant online classroom interaction.
