“…Walkem demonstrated that E-learning encourages many online participants to continue their learning on their own time. Our focus group participants also pointed out that e-learning is a motivating driving force for learning continuously (18) . E-learning initially in Saudi Arabia was further supported in the subsequent years with computer technology expansion and the World Wide Web (19) .…”

Objective: To explore the perception of undergraduate nursing students of second-year courses regarding e-learning experiences, competencies, interests, and values and obtain suggestions for improving such practices organized during the pandemic crisis of Covid-19. Methodology: The present crosssectional descriptive study design attempted to investigate the undergraduate nursing students' experiences related to the quality dimensions of e-learning. Data were collected from 121 undergraduate students of a University in Saudi Arabia who completed a set of reflective questions. Findings: Four themes were generated; instructional immediacy, Self-confidence, Innovative navigation, High Versus Low Stakes Assignments, including the advantages, challenges, and recommendations, are also discussed. Novelty: The article demonstrates the domains of challenges that might impact students' experiences during e-learning amid Covid-19.

The Role of Information & Communication Technology in Elearning Environments: A Systematic Review

The role of information and communication technology (ICT) in education continues to serve the development of teaching and learning for most subjects, and the subject of Islamic studies is no exception. However, to date, a systematic literature review (SLR) on the role of ICT for this particular subject is lacking. Therefore, to facilitate the implementation and adoption of ICT, we focus on e-learning for the majority of subjects, including Islamic education and ICT applications, e.g. educational software and the Internet, which are gaining exponential importance with time. This SLR considered research works in the literature that have been published in the temporal range of June 2007 to June 2020. We derived 41 publications from an initial 301 candidate publications, by applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria in two distinct rounds. This rigorous review explored teachers' and students' opinions on the application of technology, and shed light on the challenges to date, as well as the potential opportunities and future research directions. We also performed Tweet analysis in an example of public opinion available on social media, e.g. Twitter, for learning education through ICT-based methods. This study delivers several implications for researchers and practitioners, and provides insight on state-of-the-art. Our findings suggest that ICT-based teaching methods for learning Islamic studies as a research context require more attention. Further empirical investigation is crucial to better understand the impact of ICT practices and use, especially in the context of Islamic studies.

“…Since the inclusion of immediacy concept in the social presence theory, various factors have been established as dimensions of immediacy capable of influencing satisfactory communication on virtual media. In reference to this, Walkem (2014) pointed out that prompt feedback was one of the dimensions of immediacy. The scholar further described that satisfactory communication is achieved when users of asynchronous computer-mediated media recognize that it is their personal and professional duties to regularly check their email for apt replies and provide precisely; and appropriate information.…”

“…Immediacy factors as the independent variables of the study consisted of prompt feedback, approachability and similar personality and they were measured with 16 items. 14 items were adapted from (Rodriguez, 2015;Gunawardena & Zittle, 1997;Asiri 2013;& Walkem, 2014). While the remaining 2 items were self-developed.…”

Notwithstanding the evidence of utilizing email among Nigerian academic staff as shown in the previous studies, a recent study demonstrated that they witnessed dissatisfactory communication via email as textbased communication medium. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate if immediacy factors might influence their email satisfactory communication since these factors have been ascertained in the past studies as predictors to satisfactory communications in other asynchronous virtual communications. The respondents' email satisfactory communication levels were further examined in the study for finding if they also contributed to their email dissatisfactory communication. Hence, a quantitative research method was conducted because the study required both descriptive and inferential studies for the aim of inferring the outcomes to the targeted population. Consequently, our key findings showed that more than half of the respondents' email satisfactory communication level was not a high one. Additionally, our findings showed that the three immediacy factors which comprised prompt feedback, approachability and similar personality had direct effects on email satisfactory communication. However, similar personality factor contributed most to email satisfactory communication. Therefore, we recommend that they should consider these three immediacy factors, especially the similar personality if they aim to achieve email satisfactory communication. Our findings further explicitly contributed knowledge to asynchronous computer-mediated media satisfactory communication.
