“…The move to a Zoom environment and sheltering in place means that we sit more and more, which tends to increase mortality, decrease subjective energy, and contribute to an attitude of passive engagement, more as an observer than as a participant (Oswald, Rumbold, Kedzior, & Moore, 2020;Patel, Maliniak, Rees-Punia, Matthews, & Gapstur, 2018;Stamatakis et al, 2019;Yalçin, Özkurt, Özmaden & Yagmur, 2020). While sitting, we also tend to slouch as we look at the screen that may be a covert factor in the increasing rates of depression and anxiety.…”

This paper explores plausible reasons why some students report having more difficulty learning online, predominantly in Zoom synchronous classes, and suggests strategies that students can do to optimize their learning. During anonymous classroom observations, approximately 80% of 350 college students polled indicated it was harder to focus their attention and stay present while taking classes online. They also reported experiencing more isolation, anxiety, and depression compared to face-to-face classes, although much of this may be due to COVID-19 social isolation. Students often appear nonresponsive when attending online synchronous Zoom classes that negatively impacts the nonverbal dynamics of student-instructor interactions. Communication issues includes internet challenges, lack of facial expressions, body appearance, and movement. Students also report that it is more challenging to maintain attention, especially when they are multitasking. Suggested strategies are to optimize learning that includes arranging the camera so that you are visible, using active facial and body responses as if you are communicating to just one person face-to-face, configuring your body and environment (sitting upright and creating unique cues for each specific task), reducing multitasking and notifications, and optimizing arousal and vision regeneration.

“…Interactions created through online channels cannot form effective relational relationships because of the lack of interpersonal connections (Driver, 2018). Loneliness is an effective predictor of mental health and well-being (Diehl et al, 2021;Dinu et al, 2022;Kaufmann and Vallade, 2020;McIntyre-Mills et al, 2018;Wright, 2014), student engagement (Stoliker and Lafreniere, 2015), academic performance (Fan et al, 2021;Singh et al, 2021;Yalçın et al, 2020), lack of sense of community (Reedy, 2019), and dropout intentions (Alkan, 2014). Thus, it is necessary to explore the possible effect of loneliness on student learning experiences (Kaufmann and Vallade, 2020), such as student engagement and academic achievement.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised many problems in the education sector, one of which is the increasing trend toward student loneliness owing to a lack of interpersonal connections in online learning activities. The present study explicitly aims to examine the relationship between loneliness and academic achievement for university students in Indonesia. Moreover, we propose moderating God’s locus of control (i.e., God’s control over behavior-related learning) (GLC) and learning student engagement, playing mediating roles in these relationships. The data were collected from 324 respondents among university students in Indonesia during emergency remote teaching. The moderated-mediated regression analysis using Hayes’ PROCESS macro found loneliness negatively related to engagement and academic achievement. Student engagement had a positive relationship with academic achievement and served as a mediator between loneliness and academic achievement. Furthermore, GLC was found to moderate the relationship between loneliness and learning engagement as well as loneliness and academic achievement. This study’s findings uncover GLC’s role as a boundary condition, and confirms that learning-engagement intermediates the relationship between loneliness and academic achievement. Students with high perceived God control tend to anticipate the impact of loneliness on learning behavior amid isolation and loneliness because of the pandemic.

“…Lubans, Smith, Skinner, and Morgan created a smartphone app to help teenagers reduce screen time. The phone contained features such as 'my step', 'my workout', and 'my goal' to personalize their use of the app [24]. Since it is a digital app, the user can still have access to the phone.…”

According to recent statistics, 75.4% of people with access to the internet are addicted to their phones. 78 percent of teenagers check their mobile devices at least hourly [2]. The purpose of this paper is to propose a tool that lowers users’ dependence on their electronic devices. The tool named Phone Cage is created with the aim of locking electronic device for a set period of time. The application involves the user setting a specific mobile application for a specified amount of time. The phone cage provides the user a display countdown of the remaining time frame through which the locked application is inaccessible. The app provides access only when the set timer reaches the zero mark. This tool is created using Tinker cad, 3D- printer, Thunkable, Firebase console, and Raspberry Pi Zero. This will act as perfect remedy for individuals with addiction to their phones. It will also be a way for parents to control their children’s use of mobile phones. Therefore, noting that a significant number of people lack selfcontrol when it comes to cell phone usage, the cage will be of great help. The project will therefore have great impact to the community by allowing families to spend more time together and not on their phones. It will also help adults place more focus on their jobs and not on their phones.
