“…Still, laptops overcame those two devices in screen width, comfortableness, and mainly a device for information gathering (Sage, Piazzini, Downey, & Ewing, 2020). Compared to smartphones, several studies showed that laptops gave students more learning value and engagement other than not representing distractions or being detriments as smartphones (Albó, Hernández-Leo, & Oliver, 2019;Tossel, Kortum, Shepard, Rahmati, & Zhong, 2015).…”

This study investigates the experiences of English major students at the College of Language and Translation (COLT) in King Saud University, Saudi Arabia, with Emergency Remote Learning and Teaching (ERLT) during the Covid-19 crisis. It focuses on the students’ preferences for devices and platforms, and gender differences influencing their choices. The study is of significance because it considers the student-centered learning approaches. The paper also seeks to answer the question as to the factors that lead students to make their preferences for the online teaching tools and devices. A total of 150 students, both men, and women, participated in the study. An online survey was carried out in the form of questionnaires to elicit their responses. The results showed that laptop computers were the dominant devices students used and preferred. They also revealed that the Zoom platform came first in students’ preferences, followed by Blackboard. Also, the findings showed that although participants used smartphones in their ERL, they did not recommend it, and it came last compared to laptops, tablets, and desktop computers in their order of preference. Gender differences existed in preferences to desktops and tablets in ERL. Another gender difference existed in preferences to platforms. Women students preferred Blackboard to Zoom while men students expressed the opposite.

“…Unlike in the past, today, online education does not require the use of a stationary computer. Content can be displayed on a tablet [13,14], a smartphone [15,16], a laptop, [17,18], or with the use of Virtual Reality (VR) goggles [19,20]. This enables students to obtain knowledge and understanding, and new solutions are being implemented globally.…”

A Worldwide Journey through Distance Education—From the Post Office to Virtual, Augmented and Mixed Realities, and Education during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Surprisingly, distance education is quite an old concept. Its origins date back to the first correspondence-based course, which took place via the postal service in Boston, USA, in the 18th century. Rapid technological developments, especially in video and audio streaming, have increased the availability of such courses and moved learning into the virtual world. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we are witnessing an accelerated revolution in the learning process, as nearly all forms of education have been shifted online. Will this have a destructive effect on the human psyche? Is humanity sufficiently aware and ready for such a dramatic change? Will we return to physical in-classroom studies, or is remote distance education set to become the new norm? In particular, in medicine, computer science, fine arts, or architectural design, such a rapid change in the way students learn can be quite challenging. In this paper, we provide an overview of the history of distance learning, taking into account teachers’ and students’ points of view in both secondary and higher education.

“…The researchers adopted a descriptive survey design through developing a questionnaire to elicit students’ responses on the impact of the prolonged use of e-learning digital tools on their psychological well-being. Before designing the questionnaire, the researchers examined different questionnaires constructed for similar purposes [see [3] , [4] , [5] ]. The researchers also consulted a jury of three experts for their feedback.…”

A dataset was compiled to examine the psychosomatic impact of COVID-19′s e-learning digital tools on Jordanian university students’ well-being. In response to the state of emergency imposed by COVID-19, Jordanian universities switched to the online learning model as an alternative to traditional face-to-face education. The researchers designed a questionnaire that consists of two main sections; the first section included demographic information including gender, level/year, age, and cumulative average (GPA). The second section comprised five main constructs: (1) use of digital tools (mobile phone, laptop, i-pad) before and after COVID-19, (2) sleeping habits before and after COVID-19, (3) social interaction, (4) psychological state, and (5) academic performance. The researchers contacted different instructors teaching compulsory courses at four public and private universities and asked them to distribute the electronic questionnaire. Using the snowball sampling method, the questionnaire was delivered to students studying at the selected universities, and a total of 775 responses were received. The data were analyzed according to Likert's five-point scale, where frequencies and percentages were calculated. The data will be useful for researchers interested in studying the relationship between the e-learning model and psychosomatic disorders. Policymakers can use the data to identify university students’ emotional and psychological needs and propose practical solutions for their educational well-being.
