“…For example, Shackelford and Maxwell (2012) found that the interactions such as collaborative group projects, exchanging resources, and sharing of personal experiences predicted a sense of community in an online graduate course of almost 400 students (78% female). Adams (2021) suggests student collaboration as a means of encouraging a sense of community among students. Similarly, pre-pandemic researchers found that the use of peer groups…”

The relationship between team effectiveness and student online connectedness was investigated in a first- year engineering course developed around teaming projects. While team effectiveness has typically been incorporated in learning environments to obtain specific content-related learning objectives or career preparedness outcomes, our goal was to determine if the teaming could also contribute to students’ sense of community and connectedness during virtual courses offered during the pandemic. Our exploratory study determined that several of the teaming effectiveness factors significantly predicted factors from the Online Student Connectedness Survey. We discuss the possibility of intentionally utilizing good teaming practices to enhance students’ sense of community and connectedness to course or programs of study.

“…In an asynchronous course, educators might consider providing optional synchronous class meetings to allow students the opportunity to interact. If attendance is optional, the teacher can post a recording of the session for those who cannot attend [15]. Technological innovation has given multimedia support to the teaching faculty, changing how they interact with students, particularly with students who work, who are engaged in family needs, who live in rural areas or are far from an educational institution [16].…”

Online learning is a new global phenomenon during The Covid-19 Outbreak. Online knowledge, combined with the social media platform, can be useful in teachinglearning. Some countries are determining online learning, such as keeping social distances, keeping them healthy, and focusing on lessons and knowledge, not thinking about the Covid-19 virus, which is changing in many ways. This Research takes a sample of students studying abroad and stranded in their country who cannot return to university due to limitations on their borders. The participants come from six countries as international students. This method is class-based Research by interviewing students and analyzing their opinions on online learning. The researcher also uses the social media platform to explore how digital literacy practices can work on distance learning. Restrictions on distance, day-to-day interaction with a camera, and sometimes internet connections can be significant for online learning.

The incorporation of culturally relevant supplemental e-learning materials in teaching has been gaining attention in recent years. This study examined the effectiveness of such materials in a purposive communication course. A pretest-posttest experimental design was employed, with 95 students participating in the study. The pre-test scores of both groups were found satisfactory, with no significant difference between them. However, after the intervention, the experimental group achieved substantially higher posttest results than the control group. The findings suggest that the use of culturally relevant materials can enhance students' motivation and engagement in e-learning by creating connections between the content and their personal experiences.
