“…Another problem caused by the COVID-19 pandemic is that the learning environment changed into distance learning such as online learning [1]. Teachers and students changed the way they teach and learn to online learning [2]. Teachers should use feasible learning strategies to enable their students to learn well.…”

<p class="0abstract">Comics have been used as an alternative tool to improve student learning outcomes during the pandemic, but not yet for junior high school science learning.<strong> </strong>The study aims to explore the impact of digital comics in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic on students' cognitive learning outcomes (CLO). A quasi-experimental research design was used in the study. A total of 42 eighth-grade students participated in the current study. They were randomly assigned to two conditions. The first condition was online learning assisted by digital comic media. The second condition was non-comic online learning. A multiple-choice test developed by the researchers was used to measure students' CLO. Although the number of participants is limited, an independent samples t-test was used to analyze the data because the data was normally distributed. The results show that students' CLO differs significantly between comic and non-comic assisted online learning in favor of comic assisted online learning conditions. The possible reasons behind the findings were discussed. As a conclusion, several suggestions for researchers and teachers were offered.</p>

“…As a result, the academic calendar was maintained in all South African universities during the pandemic. This is unlike the experience of most other universities [77,78] as reported by UNESCO International Institute for Higher Education in Latin America and the Caribbean (IESALC) (2020) in which case, universities adjusted their calendar to accommodate school closure [79].…”

This study investigated the essentials for institutionalizing technologies for teaching and learning across the three types of universities in South Africa. This was with a view to determining the skills required for teaching and learning in the 4IR era. In order to obtain the data needed for the study, cross-sectional survey design was employed and online interview was conducted on Microsoft Teams and Zoom with the participants to elicit first-hand information. The population consisted of all the Executive Deans/Deans of Faculties in twenty-six (26) South African Universities. A total of twenty-two (22) Universities were purposefully selected to allow fair representation to make the findings generalizable. Seventy (70) Executive Deans/Deans participated in the online data collection via Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Content analysis and descriptive statistics were employed for analyzing data. Findings revealed that the universities in the Republic deployed fifty-seven different technologies to facilitate their teaching and learning activities, and teaching platforms had been supplemented with new technologies such as WhatsApp, Zoom, and MS Teams. Although resistance had been experienced in the past, the teaching staff is competent to moderately competent in the use of existing technologies for teaching because most faculties had provided training in an on-going basis. Improvements in the standard and quality of teaching and learning were observed with the aid of emerging technologies. The study concludes that while Universities are settled to adopt blended learning as the strategy to implement the convergence between human and machines in the era of the fourth industrial revolution, there is a need to have a national policy in place that deals with funding (special grant) to plug the gap on the digital divide.

“…The sudden transition from offline to online teaching has led to, somewhat expectedly, mixed results for administrators, teachers, and students [6,7,8,9]. In [10], the experience, both before and after the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic, of conducting tests using MyElearning in a digital electronics course is described.…”

The circumstances presented by the COVID-19 pandemic have had a severely debilitating impact on education, in general, and software engineering education, in particular. This paper describes the author's experience over three semesters in conducting oral and written tests in six software engineering-related courses with around 500 students overall. The technical as well as non-technical challenges encountered are discussed, and educational lessons based on the reactions and responses of students are given. The proposed concepts, decisions, and processes herein are effectively generalizable and potentially applicable to other types of courses and to (not necessarily pandemic-related) online teaching-related situations in general.
