Coronavirus pandemic has impacted the whole education system. Suddenly, presential classrooms are replaced by online learning, leaving students and teachers to deal with various problems without any specific preparation. This research study examines the perceptions of 78 students from a Portuguese Higher Education (HE) institution towards online learning during the Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic. Two months after the implementation of the online learning, they responded to a survey whose responses were analyzed by using descriptive statistics and independent Chi-squared tests. The findings of this study reveal the difficulties that the students encountered, like the lack of familiar/spatial conditions at home, the failures of Internet connection, and the fear of clarifying doubts in this context. The preference for face-to-face classes was also expressed. However, the selected platform used for the online classes, the appropriate development of the explanations and the digital contents made available by the teachers were appreciated by the students. The present research also investigates the factors that affected the study motivation of the students and the future plans regarding their studies.

The increasing use of learning videos in Higher Education (HE) have revolutionizing the traditional teaching environment. b-Mat@plicada is a b-Learning Mathematics course mainly composed of educational videos that the HE students of a Portuguese Institution can used for their study as a complement of the face-to-face lectures. In a previous research, an experiment was performed in the classroom context, where 49 HE students watched the b-Mat@plicada video on Matrix Multiplication as replacement of the traditional face-to-face explanation. Then, they were asked to solve individually an exercise, and respond to a survey assessing attitudes, perception, and satisfaction. In the present study, 63 HE students participated to a similar experiment with the b-Mat@plicada video on the Laplace Expansion Theorem, where a specific didactical approach is used. Beyond the comparison between the results of the two experiments, the findings of this study revealed that most students achieved the leaning objectives and appreciated the quality of the video in terms of image, sound, clarity and useless. The necessity of video contents in teaching was also expressed, mainly to clarify doubts and remember contents. However, all students considered that videos cannot replace traditional face-to-face classrooms, mainly due to the importance of the Teacher-Student dialogue.

In South Africa, the Department of Basic Education has continuously referred to the lack of students with good passes in mathematics and physical science to be able to enroll for medical and financial sector degrees. The reason for the lack of good passes has been attributed to the availability of resources and the training of teachers. Many universities have developed interventions and strategies to assist students who enter their institutions. Using the cultural historical activity theory, this chapter argues that technology in the form of podcasts can mediate the problem of under-prepared mathematical students by providing supplemental instruction. The chapter justifies the choice of podcasts and presents literature on how and why podcasts will mediate learning.
