<p><span>Higher education institutions (HEIs) usually work open throughout the academic session. In the COVID-19 pandemic time, all the HEIs were also closed temporarily. The study examined the major challenges faced by the teachers and students from the virtual classroom during the nationwide lockdown. Due to the nationwide lockdown and lack of funding, convenience sampling and snowball sampling techniques were used for data collection. A total of 893 responses were analyzed for this study. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire on a Likert scale from 305 teachers and 588 students of higher education institutes from the entire India. Network connectivity was the major challenge faced by the faculty members (mean value of 3.68) followed by 3.17 mean value for lack of professional environment at home, 3.03 for lack of teaching material at home, 2.92 for lack of personal computer/laptop. Lack of professional environment at home (mean value of 3.59) was the major challenge faced by the students followed by 3.57 for lack of teaching material at home, 3.35 for network connectivity, 3.31 for lack of personal computer/laptop. Virtual classrooms have challenges such as poor internet connectivity, non-availability of appropriate electronic devices, lack of a teaching environment at home, less information and communication technology (ICT) knowledge among students and teachers. It implied less engagement of students and teachers in the teaching and learning process.</span></p>

“…Huang from National Cheng Kung University was dedicated to CCL in a collaborative cyber community (3C) online environment [16]. He, in [17], analyzed the influence of cultural constructs and social networks on online CCL. Just before this article, he in [2] made a close study of the application of speech-enabled language translation (SELT) as a support for CCL activities.…”

With the significant increase of studies on cross-cultural learning (CCL) in the recent two decades, it is essential to conduct a systematic review of various literature and their development processes. This article is aimed at revealing research hotspots and emerging trends in CCL studies. This study adapted a visualized bibliometric approach to analyze research articles in the Cross-Cultural Learning-Internet of Things area. We extracted papers published in respected journals as the dataset. Based on bibliometrix, this study collects 1,899 records indexed in the Core Collection of Web of Science (WoS) in the domain of CCL from 2002 to 2021. The findings indicate that the number of published articles shows an apparently upward trend; the United States occupies the leading position, while the most productive journal is Computers & Education; King from Nanyang Technological University of Singapore is the most prolific author, and Nielsen ranks the first in terms of citation; cross-cultural, culture, learning, cross-cultural comparison, and cross-cultural research are found to be the most high-frequency keywords used by authors; cross-cultural projects, students and teachers, cross-cultural research, and educational technologies are the most discussed topics in this field; several notable topics related to CCL and Internet of Things. Visualization study is beneficial to track the hotspots and frontiers of CCL studies in order to effectively grasp the breakthrough points for future research. The results provide helpful information for newcomers, researchers, scholars, and practitioners to identify knowledge gaps, point out future research directions, and move this field forward.

“…The distance, capacity, and educational deficiencies found in the traditional education model can be overcome with the DE model. Especially, in countries where economic opportunities and cross-cultural understanding are limited, a distance educational approach could be a good choice for economic solutions and online cross-cultural learning activities also [6][7][8].…”

Improving Technological Infrastructure of Distance Education through Trustworthy Platform-Independent Virtual Software Application Pools

et al. 2021

Distance education (DE), which has evolved under the wings of information technologies in the last decade, has become a fundamental part of our modern education system. DE has not only replaced the traditional education method as in social sciences and lifelong learning opportunities but also has significantly strengthened traditional education in mathematics, science, and engineering fields that require practical and intensive study. However, it is deprived of supporting some key elements found in traditional educational approaches such as (i) modern computer laboratories with installed special software suitable for the student’s field of interest; (ii) adequate staff for maintenance and proper functioning of laboratories; (iii) face-to-face technical support; (iv) license fees. For students to overcome these shortcomings, a virtual application pool is needed where they can easily access all the necessary applications via remote access. This research aims to develop a platform-independent virtual laboratory environment for DE students. This article has been developed specifically to guide DE institutions and to make a positive contribution to the literature. Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) has been used to explain student behaviors. It was concluded that students using the platform performed more successful grades (12.89%) on laboratory assessments and that the students using the developed platform were found to be more satisfied with the education process.
