CALL in Asia During Covid-19 and Models of E-Learning

Abstract

Corona Virus' pandemic (Covid-19) has affected all of the world's aspects, such as economics, lifestyles, culture, education, etc. Most schools and universities have been shut down for the safety of students. Then e-learning has been employed in many schools and universities to keep education going on. However, many lecturers/teachers and students in Vietnam have not been familiar with this teaching/learning mode yet. Training lecturers/teachers to use the elearning system at a school or university is an important issue in terms of effective teaching/learning and school management. Few research studies have been investigated to study the useful model of e-learning classrooms during this critical time. This paper presents an overlook of e-learning issues around Asia during the Corona Virus pandemic. It then examined a case study on e-learning at a university in Vietnam during the lockdown situation. The study revealed that the implementation of e-learning in Vietnam still had many obstacles in terms of Internet connection, available devices, economic conditions, and the students' unwilling-perceptions. The study also provided a model of e-learning for the school/university management and the lecturers/teachers who wish to run their e-learning classes effectively.

The Effects of Online Peer Feedback on Students’ Writing Skills during Corona Virus Pandemic

Thanks to this, students could access different online learning tools, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and GC.…”

A randomized controlled experiment for comparing face-to-face and online teaching during COVID-19 pandemic

“…Similar to many industries, educational activities have been interrupted and many schools and universities have been temporarily shut down before eventually moving to online platforms (Abbasi et al, 2020;Aboagye et al, 2020;Radha et al, 2020;Mathivanan et al, 2021). Millions of university-level courses are being delivered online across the world, and this trend has lasted for a long period making us wonder whether e-learning will eventually overtake face-to-face learning and become a new educational norm in the post-COVID-19 era (Saeed Al-Maroof et al, 2020;Hermawan, 2021;Pham and Da Vo, 2021;Shofwan et al, 2021;Tang et al, 2021).…”
