ABSTRACT

While much is discussed of the challenges that educators and their institutions have been facing during COVID-19, there is little reported about how students have been coping with the challenges. In this short piece, we present preliminary data on university students’ perceptions of online learning and teaching during the pandemic. Our findings from a student course satisfaction survey, conducted in two universities during the 2020 summer term (June through August), reveal that students have been more resilient than is often assumed. In light of these findings as well as the reflections of authors in a previous issue of Distance Education, we will discuss some important implications for distance education scholarship.

摘要

尽管在COVID-19期间讨论了许多教育工作者及其机构所面临的挑战，但几乎没有关于学生如何应对挑战的报道。在此简短的文章中，我们提供了有关大学生在大流行期间在线学习和教学的看法的初步数据。我们在2020年夏季学期（6月至8月）期间对两所大学进行的学生课程满意度调查得出的结果表明，学生比通常想象的要更有弹性。根据这些发现以及上一期远程教育中作者的反映，我们将讨论对远程教育奖学金的一些重要启示。
