The objective of the study was to assess the disposition and challenges of students towards teaching and learning of biochemistry through WhatsApp. Materials and Methods. The study was a cross-sectional survey which had 200 level (Second Year) and 400 level (Fourth Year) students of biochemistry as respondents. Data collection was done using a self-developed questionnaire administered through the WhatsApp group created for learning and collected through a designated e-mail address. Data analysis was carried out using the mean and standard deviation setting a mean score of 2.5 as a benchmark for accepting or rejecting statements made in the questionnaire. Results. The study revealed that students had a level of openness to using online teaching resources for biochemistry; they do not believe that the use of WhatsApp for teaching and learning of biochemistry as a means of alternative to face to face classroom interaction will be effective in imparting the right knowledge in biochemistry. Several challenges identified are linked to not just money but is hinged around the curriculum structure of the biochemistry programme. Conclusion. It is concluded that WhatsApp represents a potential means of instruction but may be hampered by challenges hinged on the curriculum structure of biochemistry.

“…Therefore, research conducted in various universities across the globe point to some of the challenges faced by the parties involved in the educational process, such as teachers' and students' reactions to moving to online teaching and learning activities [1][2][3][4]; collaboration between "different shareholders (e.g., psychologists, sociologists, therapists, etc.) to offer better and timely solutions", particularly to students' problems [5]; students' and teachers' experiences with the digital environment caused by swapping classroom activities performed in a physical location with those completed on online platforms, such as Zoom, Google Classroom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, and many others [6][7][8][9]; identification of effective online teaching principles and strategies that can have a positive impact on students, increasing their involvement in educational activities [10,11]; teachers' endeavours to develop new skills, capabilities, and competencies that are useful in the digital classroom format [12]; teachers' and students' use of social media in order to communicate with each other [6,13]; teachers' Sustainability 2021, 13, 3203 2 of 13 and students' use of webcams during online classes [1]; students' perceptions of the online educational format [14][15][16]; and institutional difficulties in solving encountered technical problems [15]. In the analyses studied, in the majority of the situations, experiences are presented without taking into account students' opinions on the changes produced in the educational system.…”

Since, in some higher education institutions, it is not mandatory for students to turn their webcams on during online classes, teachers have complained that their students have adopted this behaviour once the educational activities moved online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Considering this, the present research aimed to identify the reasons behind students’ choice to hide their faces during online classes and find possible solutions to remedy the situation to enhance the educational process’s sustainability. Thus, this article presents the results obtained by applying an online questionnaire between December 2020 and January 2021 among the students pursuing an academic degree, recording 407 responses. The results highlighted the fact that more than half of the students participating in the study reported that they do not agree to keep their webcams on during online classes, the main reasons being anxiety/fear of being exposed/shame/shyness, desire to ensure privacy of the home/personal space, and chances that other people might walk into the background. The relevance of the research, besides the scarcity of studies on the topic, is also given by the fact that finding and understanding the reasons for this behaviour are, in fact, the first steps in undertaking regulatory interventions on it.

“…Malso showed that zoom app as the one of the best one for educating especially for nurses students [30]. Correia et al showed Microsoft Teams as the best app for videoconferencing for nursing students [31]. Blackboard Collaborate is also introduced as the best app for practical and theoretical courses for nursing students and it was showed by Leigh et al [4].…”

Introduction: In the crisis of Corona virus epidemic, the education of undergraduate nursing students has faced many challenges. Face-to-face training is closed and academics are forced to adapt to distance learning. As a result, nursing students may encounter unfamiliar technologies. This article provides examples of technologies used to provide nursing education.Methods: This research is an applied study that was conducted in 2021 by systematic review method. Using the keywords of e-learning, nursing students, Corona virus and Covid-19 were found in various databases such as PubMed, Science Direct and Google scholar in the last two years (2019-2020) due to the prevalence of coronary heart disease. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study, which was the time period and English language of the articles, related articles were included in the study, their information was extracted and entered in the checklist, and finally the collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Incoming and outgoing articles are reported using the PRISMA flowchart.Results: In this study, 275 English articles were found. After reviewing the articles, 12 articles were included in the study. Studies conducted from 2019 to 2020 in the field of e-learning for nursing students. In these articles, eight educational methods for educating nursing students have been introduced, and the use of cloud space for loading course materials and the use of software that can be installed on smartphones were mentioned in 83% of the articles. The use of Zoom, SoundCloud, Microsoft Teams and Blackboard Collaborate software for loading webinars was suggested in 91% of the articles.Conclusion: According to the findings of this article, it was found that most studies have been conducted to introduce applied software to provide practical courses, which due to the practical nature of many nursing courses, the software have a high capability.
