“…2 It involves the implementation of advancements in technology to direct, design and deliver the learning content, and to facilitate two-way communication between students and faculty. 3 They contain features such as whiteboards, chat rooms, polls, quizzes, discussion forums and surveys that allow instructors and students to communicate online and share course content side by side. These can offer productive and convenient ways to achieve learning goals.…”

Objective: During COVID-19 pandemic, the institutions in Pakistan have started online learning. This study explores the perception of teachers and students regarding its advantages, limitations and recommendations.Methods: This qualitative case study was conducted from March to April 2020. Using maximum variation sampling, 12 faculty members and 12 students from University College of Medicine and University College of Dentistry, Lahore were invited to participate. Four focus group interviews, two each with the faculty and students of medicine and dentistry were carried out. Data were transcribed verbatim and thematically analyzed using Atlas Ti.Results: The advantages included remote learning, comfort, accessibility, while the limitations involved inefficiency and difficulty in maintaining academic integrity. The recommendations were to train faculty on using online modalities and developing lesson plan with reduced cognitive load and increased interactivities.Conclusion: The current study supports the use of online learning in medical and dental institutes, considering its various advantages. Online learning modalities encourage student-centered learning and they are easily manageable during this lockdown situation. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.36.COVID19-S4.2785 How to cite this:Mukhtar K, Javed K, Arooj M, Sethi A.

“…E-learning is a concept of delivering knowledge or education through the internet, satellite, interactive TV, intranet, or extranet among the learners (Chen, 2011). The concept of E-learning includes applying modern technology, and the E-tools available, for an effective two-way communication, so as to impart knowledge to all the relevant stakeholders in the education sector on a global level (Thanji & Vasantha, 2016). During the COVID-19 pandemic, E-learning has been found to be a critical instrument for efficiently continuing education across all levels (Alipio, 2020;Basilaia & Kvavadze, 2020;Soni, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a thought-provoking impact on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that were approved by United Nations in the year 2015. Therefore, taking this very consideration forward, this study primarily explores the impact of COVID-19, particularly on the SDG number 4, i.e., education. Due to the COVID-19 contagion, given the unusual and never been experienced circumstances, educational institutions all over the world have been forced to establish their e-learning systems practically overnight. For this purpose, we collected the relevant data from middle school students, by using a technique known as convenience sampling. Furthermore, moving on in the same context, we also developed an integrated model with five dimensions, i.e., Learner, Design, Technology, Instructor, and Environment, in order to gauge this relationship in further detail. The empirical findings of the step-wise multiple regression analysis revealed that the learners' attitude towards the computer, learners' internet self-efficacy, usefulness, instructors' response timelines, and the instructors' attitude towards e-learning, positively and significantly tend to affect the middle school student's satisfaction with online. Whereas, learners' computer anxiety, ease of use, system availability, internet availability, learning climate, and interactions negatively affects the middle school students' satisfaction. These results imply that developing countries could possibly achieve goal number 4 (Education) of the Sustainable Development Goals, by improving the learner satisfaction, and further strengthening the implementation of their E-Learning practices.

“…The ICT evolution has been measured by access, use and skills development (Kyriakidou, Michalakelis, & Sphicopoulos, 2013). However, many gaps exist in identifying ICT facilities, access, skills and usage in higher education, including lack of internet access (Siddiquah & Salim, 2017), physical access among faculty (Soomro, Kale, Curtis, Akcaoglu, & Bernstein, 2018), changes in learners' cognition, economic viability (Ram & Sinha, 2017) and sufficient ICT skills to take advantage of new technologies (Thanji & Vasantha, 2016). When the focus is on technical and vocational education, the gaps increase (Islam, 2016).…”

The problem motivating this research is the rapid introduction of educational technologies and the strong push to use new technologies in technical and vocational training in China coupled with varied responses and uneven adoption of new tools on the part of practitioners. This study investigated the factors that influence technical and vocational college teachers' adoption and appreciation of information and communication technology (ICT) in China using the technology adoption and gratification (TAG) model. At total of 535 teachers from public technical and vocational colleges were surveyed using a purposive sampling procedure. The survey data were analyzed through structural equation modeling. Findings suggest that the use of ICT had three primary determinants: teaching purpose, research purpose and academic purpose. Technical and vocational college teachers' technology adoption and gratification was directly and indirectly predicted by their computer self-efficacy, intention to use, perceived ease of use and usefulness of ICT. Most importantly, the TAG model accounted for 77% of the variance in teachers' gratification using those predictive variables. This research successfully applied the TAG model and it further fosters recommendations for future investigations. This study contributes to theoretical, methodical and practical understandings of the use of ICT in technical and vocational education, which has been much less explored than in K-12 education and university settings.
