E-Learning and Online Instructions of Higher Education during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Diseases (COVID-19) Epidemic

Abstract

Abstract E-learning and online instructions of higher education play a key role in no suspension of learning and no suspension of teaching during the 2019 Novel Coronavirus Diseases (COVID-19) Epidemic. This study summarizes the responses from online instructors and analyzes the difficulties and solutions of the online learning and instructions. The results indicate that although most instructors try to prepare the contents of instructions well, however, it is still not an easy way to monitor and change the students’ learning behaviors in such a short term. We outline implications for practice and ideas for future research. The results could be used to serve as a benchmark for comparing levels of online learning and identify the main difficulties of online instructors during the outbreak circumstances of the COVID-19.
