E-Learning

Abstract

This research aims to study the influence of the pandemic on the current higher education institutions' methods to understand better its impact on the development of e-learning structures as a proactive solution to the in-person classes and methods. A quantitative methodology was developed through a survey questionnaire from Porto Accounting and Business School students to identify e-learning initiatives and the possible new standard for higher education. The results show that the current pandemic situation serves as a base for developing and implementing online learning methodologies such as e-learning and b-learning. They are concluding the most common struggles or barriers that students highlight during their online learning experiences related to their prearrangement with the learning process and connected to the institution's investments in “remote” learning structures. It is crucial to mention that this study can give further research literacy to developing specific research from a student perspective.
