The COVID-19 pandemic struck humanity in February 2020. Closures of educational institutions, worldwide, resulted to the creation of emergency remote teaching environments as a substitute to face to face learning. The disruption caused in the academic community has stimulated innovative learning methods within all levels of the educational sector. New parameters affecting knowledge transmission are getting involved while students follow courses apart on a common virtual learning environment. This research is based on a first-semester Mechanical Engineering CAD module in tertiary education. A learning strategy has been applied by reforming the traditional face-to-face leaning mode to a fully remote learning environment. The methods applied have been tested using statistical analysis and have shown to contribute significantly in students’ spatial perception in 2-Dimentional Drawings. The outcomes of this research reveal a novel teaching strategy that improved students’ academic achievements in CAD during the lockdown. Specific aspects can be considered sustainable on their return back to normality.

Instructional materials, internet accessibility, student involvement and communication have always been integral characteristics of e-learning. During the transition from face-to-face to COVID-19 new online learning environments, the lectures and laboratories at universities have taken place either synchronously (using platforms, like MS Teams) or asynchronously (using platforms, like Moodle). In this study, a case study of a Greek university on the online assessment of learners is presented. As a testbed of this research, MS Teams was employed and tested as being a Learning Management System for evaluating a single platform use in order to avoid disruption of the educational procedure with concurrent LMS operations during the pandemic. A statistical analysis including a correlation analysis and a reliability analysis has been used to mine and filter data from online questionnaires. 37 variables were found to have a significant impact on the testing of tasks’ assignment into a single platform that was used at the same time for synchronous lectures. The calculation of Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient indicated that 89% of the survey questions have been found to be internally consistent and reliable variables and sampling adequacy measure (Bartlett’s test) was determined to be good at 0.816. Two clusters of students have been differentiated based on the parameters of their diligence, communication abilities and level of knowledge embedding. A hierarchical cluster analysis has been performed extracting a dendrogram indicating 2 large clusters in the upper branch, three clusters in the lower branch and an ensuing lower branch containing five clusters.

“…Some recent, but early studies using student evaluation data of their perceptions of using Teams has found that they largely like it, and have found it easy to use and useful [20]. In formal learning contexts, Teams has been found to be superior to social networking sites [21], supportive of student-student and student-teacher interactions [22] and for some better than their universities LMS for chat, video conferencing and screen sharing and content creation [23]. On the negative side, some student surveys have found it difficult to keep track of assessment items in Teams, and that it is not as good as the LMS for the presentation and organization of course content [23].…”

It has been said for years that, in the near future the Learning Management System (LMS) will become a thing of the past. Some suggest this should already be the case, but it has not been possible to break our institutional dependence on this technology. In the meantime, institutions have developed sophisticated networks of tools, largely built off the back of LTIs and xAPIs to seamlessly make the LMS a pervasive convenor of learning. These tools include media streaming, virtual classrooms, collaboration tools, plagiarism checking, ePortfolio, voice interaction, peer-review/learning, brainstorming, H5Ps and the list goes on. All that is left for the traditional LMS to do is to mediate these tools, house and collate assessment and scaffold the different learning scenarios. Admittedly it also helps the institution link to other organizational tools such as student management and curriculum management systems. This chapter looks at the future implications and examines a range of views from technology enhanced learning professionals from across the sector. The views being canvased may provide institutions with a framework to help them consider their future directions and how the evolving technology landscape may see newer ways of using emerging technologies to better support or student cohorts.
