About creativity, innovation, adaptive to technology, according to some of the lecturers (65%), students sometimes have a good internet connection during online class, use a headset with headphones and a microphone to get audio quality, and prevent disruptions to others.

Satisfaction of essential needs in E-learning as a mediator of the links between students’ attitudes and ethical misbehaviors

“…[ 33 ]. Since students have a great appetite to score well in order to meet their expected standards, they are often searching for methods to tackle these standards without considering the short- and long-term implications of their behavior [ 43 , 45 ]. Most notably learners with limited e-learning experience or instructors lacking proficiency in e-learning, have lower level of ability to break through the attributes of e-learning platforms [ 45 ].…”

“…Furthermore, faculty members have expressed concern about e-learning. In a study that utilized observations, questionnaires, and informal interviews of a sample that contained 10 faculty members and 66 students of Tanjungpura University, Apriliaswati and Fitrianingrum [ 43 ]highlight that around 73% of faculty members believed that students are less likely to be honest, responsible, and good in utilizing written and oral language during e-learning. However, around 78% of the students contradicted the highlighted opinion of the faculty members.…”

The Relationship between Teachers' Perceptions of Organizational Ethical Climate and Accountability Tendencies

“…The ethical climate of an organization is one of the most important factors affecting the behavior of employees (Apriliaswati & Fitrianingrum, 2022;Deshpande, 1996b: 655). The ethical perception of the organization by the employees is very important as it will increase the effectiveness of the organization and the level of job satisfaction of the employees (AlKhudari, Almashaqbeh & Alkhaza'leh, 2022;Brown & Peterson, 1993;Schwepker, 2001;Singhapakdi, et al 1995).…”

The Effect of Traditional and Online Learning Approaches on the Survival and Transmission of the Oral Culture, Students' Attitude and National Values

“…In the 21st century education model, universities should benefit from information and communication technologies as much as possible in the course process (Apriliaswati & Fitrianingrum, 2022;Hartono & Ozturk, 2022;Kehrwald, 2008;Lee et al, 2006;Wiesenberg & Stacey, 2005;Zwirn, 2005). The use of online learning tools for literature teaching, which are among the products of these technologies, will enrich the literature learning environment and applications, while also supporting the learning of students (An & Reigeluth, 2011;Kraemer, 2008;Lee, 2016;Budiyanto, Widiastuti & Wihidayat, 2017).…”
