“…The Internet has had a significant impact on the evolution of education [18,19], with online education being the most common. Online learning can take place in classrooms with teachers and students face to face, where digital media are used to complete learning tasks, communication and interaction [20], or distance education is conducted without face-to-face communication or interaction between teachers and students through various communication tools [21]. Distance online education is the emphasis of this issue, and Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) are the most common teaching tool for professors to conduct teaching courses over the Internet [22,23], which have features such as video lecture recording, establishing discussion boards and real-time chats [24].…”

Online learning has emerged as a fresh method to successfully prevent teacher and student gatherings as well as the propagation of viruses in the context of the ongoing influence of the COVID-19. A problem deserving of consideration is how to increase users’ desire to participate in online learning through online class APPs, identify the variables that affect users’ use of them, and create a useful assessment scale. In this study, user ratings from 68 students who had used an online class APP were collected using the combination of qualitative and quantitative research, and 200 online questionnaires were sent out to complement the interview findings, based on which 328 assessment questionnaires were gathered and 23 valid items were obtained. The influencing elements that had an impact on users’ online learning experiences were identified using factor analysis, and the relationships among the components were investigated using structural equation modeling. Perceived benefits are the main influencing factors, subjective norms and functional quality are the direct factors influencing users’ perceived benefits, and self-efficacy is influenced by subjective norms while promoting the perception of functional quality. The factors influencing users’ use of online class APPs are ultimately identified as perceived benefits, functional quality and self-efficacy. In order to facilitate users’ online learning, user psychological traits, social ties and software functions should be integrated into a cohesive system while designing online class APPs.

“…Since December 2019, the world has been living in the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic (Khalifa et al, 2020;Qubail & Al-Absy, 2021). Due to the mandatory closure of institutions during the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent difficulty of full-time teaching, university lecturers were obliged to seek alternative communication tactics with students via internet platforms and in daily academic activities (Hurajova, Kollarova, & Huraj, 2022). The pandemic has solidified the use of digital technology in educational settings (Haleem et al, 2022).…”

“…Even though the decision to close schools seemed to be the right one in the face of the pandemic, the unplanned closure of educational establishments had huge global repercussions (Onyema et al, 2020). Modern digital technologies contribute to the long-term viability of the learning system during public health emergencies and will continue to be a vital element of higher education even after the pandemic is over (Hurajova et al, 2022).…”

“…Figure 1 shows the daily worldwide COVID-19 cases from the beginning of the pandemic until the end of December 2020; during this period, COVID-19 cases were still high. In general, e-learning is a web-based learning system that uses technology to teach students (Hurajova et al, 2022). There is a lot of evidence that online learning is just as effective as traditional learning.…”

“…During the COVID-19 outbreak, online learning was extensively promoted to replace conventional schooling (Dong, Cao, & Li, 2020;Haleem et al, 2022;Hurajova et al, 2022;Pal & Vanijja, 2020). Since the advent of the pandemic, elearning platforms have played a key role in online learning, enabling simple access to instructional content and teaching resources on the one hand, and lower costs on the other.…”

The study aims to examine accounting students’ perceptions of: (i) the importance of using technology during the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the extent of their use of technology; (iii) the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on their capability to use technology; and (iv) their satisfaction with using the Tally software program during the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative method was used in which a questionnaire was distributed to students at a higher education institution; specifically, students in the Accounting and Finance Department at Gulf University. The results showed that among the responding students there was a high level of agreement on the importance of using technology during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents highly agreed on the significant impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the extent of students’ use of technology. Moreover, findings indicated that there was a high level of agreement on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the students’ capability to use technology. Lastly, the results pointed out a high level of satisfaction with using the Tally software program during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing empirical evidence on the issue of using technology in education during COVID-19. The results provide evidence that students are now more competent in using most educational technologies. Hence the study helps policymakers and educational institutions appreciate the importance of technological tools in education, and will therefore encourage them to apply technological tools that can improve student performance.
