“…In the existing literature, studies on e-learning during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent closure of schools have been conducted mainly in higher educational institutions. Studies including (Aristeidou and Cross 2021 ; Kulikowski et al 2021 ; Stotz et al 2021 ; Vittorini and Galassi 2021 ; Yawson and Yamoah 2020 ) are some of the recent e-learning studies that were conducted during the period of the pandemic.…”

This paper investigates the determinants that will influence students’ acceptance of the electronic learning (e-learning) system of education after the COVID-19 emergency. Specifically, the paper assesses the attitudes and intentions of students in second-cycle institutions to accept e-learning after the pandemic, using constructs derived from the health belief model and technology acceptance model. Also, we test if there is any significant difference in the attitudes and intentions of students in public and private institutions. Using data collected from 370 students in upper and lower levels of a second-cycle institutions in Ghana, we found that student attitude is significantly influenced by perceived usefulness and moderately affected by perceived severity, whereas, student’s intention is moderately affected by the perceived severity but substantially influenced by the student’s attitude towards usage. Also, the results revealed that students’ attitudes and intentions to use e-learning are moderately affected by the severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, there were no significant differences in the attitudes and intentions of the sampled students in public and private second-cycle institutions in Ghana, regarding their acceptance and usage of e-learning after the COVID-19 emergency. Given the study’s findings, the paper concludes that students’ attitudes and intention to use e-learning are the main determinants that will influence the students’ acceptance of the e-learning system of education in second-cycle institutions in Ghana after the COVID-19 emergency. The paper contributes to knowledge by providing evidence of students’ acceptance of the e-learning system of education after the COVID-19 emergency in the context of a developing country like Ghana.

“…Las respuestas evidenciaron de modo mayoritario 6 expresiones recurrentes en buena parte de las respuestas de los estudiantes sobre el uso de recursos audiovisuales en el aula: (1) atiendo, (2) participo, (3) estoy motivada/do, (4) aprendo, (5) me divierto y, finalmente, ( 6 En conclusión, el análisis de las respuestas a la cuestión planteada reveló que la mayor parte de los participantes parecen estar de acuerdo en que los recursos audiovisuales mantuvieron su atención (Kokoç et al, 2020;Wang et al, 2020;Xie et al, 2019), fomentaron su participación e interacción, incrementaban su motivación, facilitando su aprendizaje (Gadille et al, 2021;Pritchard, 2017) de un modo ameno y divertido. Finalmente, los estudiantes consideraron que el uso de recursos audiovisuales en el aula mejoró sus hábitos de estudio (Ghilay, 2018;Vittorini & Galassi, 2021) y, en consecuencia, tienen un mayor rendimiento académico (Abdulrahaman et al, 2020;Harrison, 2020;Noetel et al, 2021a).…”

“…La investigación procedente de distintas disciplinas, y no exclusiva del aprendizaje a distancia, ha demostrado que el vídeo puede ser una herramienta educativa eficaz en la mejora de los hábitos de estudio y el incremento en el rendimiento del aprendizaje (Ghilay, 2018;Vittorini & Galassi, 2021). El aprendizaje a través de los recursos audiovisuales permite en los estudiantes la construcción de representaciones mentales a través de la combinación de palabras e imágenes que favorece el aprendizaje y, en consecuencia, un mayor rendimiento académico (Abdulrahaman et al, 2020;Harrison, 2020;Noetel et al, 2021a).…”

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo general analizar el rendimiento de aprendizaje de los estudiantes sobre el uso de los recursos audiovisuales. Para ello se aplica el método experimental a partir de dos muestras generadas aleatoriamente de los dos grupos (aulas virtuales) en que fueron divididos administrativamente los estudiantes matriculados. Los resultados obtenidos por el experimento evidencian una mejora significativa en el rendimiento de aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Finalmente, la percepción de los estudiantes sobre el uso de esta herramienta didáctica resultó ser muy positiva. La utilización de los recursos audiovisuales en el aula mejora los hábitos de estudio y, en consecuencia, se obtiene un mejor rendimiento académico.

“…6 Some consequences of these changes, necessitated by the pandemic, have recently been analyzed and reported, mostly in terms of surveys. 7,8,9 When the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020, Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine (MSUCOM) changed its campus-based lecture delivery to virtual delivery of lectures via Zoom webinars or meetings. The instructional team for two courses in biochemistry and molecular biology (BMB) recognized the unique opportunity to compare the effectiveness of the two modes of content delivery: face-to-face versus online.…”

Background: Study objectives were to appraise the effectiveness of Zoom delivery versus live campus-based delivery of lectures in biochemistry and genetics courses and assess the integrity of remote versus campus administered exams. Methods: Participants were 601 students entering Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2019 or 2020. The former completed courses and exams on campus, while the latter completed courses online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. For the biochemistry and genetics courses, the same lecturers delivered the same content and used identical exam questions for assessments in 2019 and 2020. The investigators compared percent correct for each question in 2019 and 2020. Results: This study found 84/126 (~67%) of the questions yielded little difference (3% or less in % Correct) between live delivery and Zoom delivery. For questions whose % Correct index differed by 4% or more, Zoom delivery yielded a better performance for 16 questions (~13%), while 19 questions (~15%) showed live lectures performed better. Seven of the questions (~6%) had an identical mode of delivery in 2019 and 2020 (e.g. self-study exercise). These served as “control questions” for which equivalent student performance was expected. The 126 questions analyzed spanned a wide range in the % Correct index, from ~60% Correct to >90% Correct. Conclusions: The results suggest that Zoom and on-campus delivery of the content in biochemistry and genetics yielded similar achievement of course objectives. The high concordance, between 2019 and 2020, of the % Correct for individual questions also speaks to exam integrity including online proctoring.
