“…As a share, ICT positively impact learning motivation (Sarkar, 2012), although some people remain sceptical. However, Gunga and Ricketts (2008) show that efforts in using ICT in education systems have in uenced the increase in informal education. The motivational aspects of learning concerning ICT are always contradictory and vary from one environment to another (Karsenti, 2003).…”

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), e-learning is a new concept for academic institutions. Covid-19 has reignited the debate about using Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within institutions. Technology is evolving exponentially, and Information and Communication Technology-based is now essential in all sectors. During the lockdown, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to the educational institution's closure, e-learning became the rule, and face-to-face (in-person) teaching was the exception. Based on qualitative data on information and communication technology use with non-structured interviews in higher institutions in Bukavu, this paper attempts to understand the obstacles to the transition from face-to-face teaching to e-learning during the Covid-19 period. Our results show that many educational institutions lack information and communication technology tools and infrastructures. The Covid-19 pandemic advent brought most educational institutions to stop activities.

“…The basic components of internet and social media are communication and collaborative technologies which include video, voice, content sharing technologies and social networking that have potential to give new dimension to teaching and learning by providing opportunities for students and teachers for teaching and learning. These technologies have changed the role of teacher form provider of information to facilitators of learning and have made students as centre of attention (Beldarrain, 2006;Gunga &Ricketts, 2000, Falvo andJohnson 2007).…”

The study aimed to find the relationship between the perception and use of social media towards the paradigm shift of teaching as design science for faculty of Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia. The descriptive and mixed design (both qualitative and quantitative) was used to conduct the study. A focus group with the faculty of Institute of Learning Material Development and Distribution, Examination, and Information System of Universitas Terbuka was conducted. Initially the nine faculty members were exposed to the concept of paradigm shift towards teaching as design science, social capital and design science both in English and Indonesian languages. The focus group discussion was followed by three interviews to triangulate the views and identify the indicators for the questionnaire. Afterward, a questionnaire to measure the social capital strengths in three dimensions (Relational, Cognitive and Structural) was designed on the basis of initially collected data. The reliability and validity of the questionnaire was assured through judgmental approach. A purposive sample of thirty faculty members was selected from the teaching faculty of the Universitas Terbuka. It was found that the perception of the Universitas Terbukafaculty members was positive towards the use of social media in their teaching- learning process. They were well aware of the potential of the young learners in the use of social media and are of the view that it may be utilised to reach the objective of optimization of the learners’ achievements. The researchers recommended a dual cyclic model for the appropriate use of the social media for the purpose of teaching as design science.

The exponential proliferation of e-learning programs has considerably changed the landscape of contemporary nursing education. Nursing programs are delivered through classroom, blended, fully computerized or distributive models. The aim of this paper is to provide a critical theoretical analysis of potential pitfalls of the utilization of remote robots in nursing education. Against the backdrop of the nature of nursing knowledge, the usefulness of robots in nursing education is appraised. Robots enable students living in remote geographical areas to learn in their communities. The lack of evidence to support the efficiency of remote presence robots in nursing education, in general, and in clinical nursing education, in particular, raises some questions. Robots may run the risk of dehumanizing nursing education and impoverishing the acquisition of critical thinking skills. A critical examination of the advantages and disadvantages of remote robots should inform nurse administrators and educators before making decisions to rely on this cyber-based technology to support the delivery of nursing programs in remote areas.
