This paper presents the findings from a research project exploring the impact of learner resilience as part of the shift to online delivery of learning, teaching and assessment amidst national social "lockdown" measures as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This exploration of resilience was undertaken as part of the delivery of a first-year undergraduate computer science degree programme in a UK higher education institution over two academic years. Resilience was measured by the Nicholson McBride Resilience Questionnaire (NMRQ). The responses from the 2019-20 and 2020-21 student cohorts (N=214) illustrate that overall learner resilience as measured by NMRQ does not appear to have had a significant impact upon learner success as measured by the mean overall first-year performance. This is an outcome that differs from previously published work and may be a consequence of the unusual and ongoing circumstances arising from the pandemic. However, the factor "I try to control events rather than being a victim of my circumstances" appears to promote success and the factor "I trust my intuition" may have been slightly detrimental to overall success. As we start to consider the post-pandemic new (ab)normal, learners will continue to face significant personal challenges that will impact upon their engagement with their studies and their performance and progression; thus the insights offered from this UK university study can help to inform emerging academic and pastoral practice for undergraduate computer science education.

This paper addresses the perspective of undergraduate students of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) – a particular learning and teaching environment that is conducted virtually. This paper explores the ODL environment from the participants' perspective and focuses on 15 undergraduate students who dropped out of the academic course. This qualitative study aims to understand the reasons behind learners' decision to leave so that ideas might be developed for the successful implementation of ODL environments in the future that would appeal to all learners. The analysis showed that students left the class for eight factors: self-regulation, personal, teaching quality, environment, emotional, financial, communication and technological factors. The paper concludes by proposing several recommendations to reduce the risk of dropout for the successful future of ODL.

The paper presents the results of research on the quality of e-learning in Polish higher education. The authors used an internet questionnaire for the study. The research sample was 621 students. Firstly, the researchers determined 14 variables that are important for the quality of e-learning. Then the students evaluated these variables with scores from 1 to 5. The students agreed the most with the following statements: “using the e-learning platform is convenient” (average: 4.20 and median 5.00), and “logging in to the e-learning platform is easy” (average 4.38, median 5.00). Moreover, the authors studied the relation between the quality of e-learning in Polish universities and the following variables: the ease with which the student can acquire content in traditional teaching and e-learning, the student’s knowledge of information technology and their possession of the resources necessary for e-learning, and the student’s assessment of the innovation of e-learning solutions used by the university where the student studies.
