ABSTRACT
Offering many advantages to adult learners, e-Learning is now being recognized - and preferred - by more and more
people, resulting in an increased number of distance learners in recent years. Numerous research studies focus on learner
preferences for online learning, with most converging around the individual characteristics and differences, if not the
features of the technology and pedagogy used. For Turkey, the situation is also similar, with the number of adult learners
who prefer online learning increasing each year due to several reasons. The result of this is an increase in the number of
online programs offered by many universities. Hence, this research study has been conducted to reveal the prevailing
factors causing learners to choose online learning. Through this qualitative research regarding online learners in a state
university, it is found that having a full time job, accessibility and flexibility, individual responsibility, effective time
management, physical distance, institutional prestige, disability are the common factors for under graduate and graduate
learners in their preference for online learning. Awareness of these factors can support the stakeholders while designing
e-Learning from both technological and pedagogical points of view.

1. INTRODUCTION
Offering many advantages to adult learners, e-Learning is now being recognized - and preferred - by more
and more people, resulting in an increased number of distance learners in recent years. Emphasizing that
distance education has a bright and promising future, Zawacki-Richter and Naidu (2016) stress that, “In fact,
there has never been a better time to be in the field of open, flexible, distance and online education than
now!” (p. 20).
The commonly discussed factors that make online learning attractive for adults are: independence from
time and place; accessibility, and; economic reasons. With the MOOC movement, extremely high quality
online courses are now being delivered to learners by many well-known universities. Moreover, many
universities are either providing online programs or courses as a support to traditional instruction, in the form
of blended learning, flipped classes, etc. Indeed, there are almost no universities left who don’t benefit from
these advantages of technology usage and its support in teaching-learning processes.
A variety of reasons might account for these learning preferences. Çağlar and Turgut (2014) attempted to
identify the effective factors for the e-learning preferences of university students; they concluded that,
“Efficient usage of time and reduced educational expenses were found to be on top of the list as the most
valued advantages of e-learning” (p. 46). ...
Abstract: Blended learning is an educational model offered through traditional learning methods and digital
networks to share knowledge and education resources between instructors and learners. Besides, blended learning
provides learning courses accessed through digital platforms and gadgets utilizing online technologies such as
smartphones, tablets, laptops, and personal computers. Denoted as e-learning, these platforms are important in
teaching and training students through the internet and wireless technologies. In any course, offering online
learning plays a great role because e-learning provides the students the opportunities of developing their
capabilities, specifically in information science courses. In modern education, digital learning is becoming a
gradually popular option. The classroom settings moved online from full digital courses to classes held remotely.
However, effective communication in a digital learning environment may be hard, particularly when digital
learning transition is unplanned or has been sudden. Making such massive overhauls are confusing and frustrating
for the teachers, learners, and parents.
Nevertheless, digital learning communication can be made easier with the right resource. This research explores
the blended learning environment effectiveness by evaluating the relationships between design features, student
backgrounds or attributes, and learning outcomes. The paper's objective is to determine the important blended
learning effectiveness indicators, taking learning outcomes as dependent variables and design features and learner
background or attributes as independent variables. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated learner
attributes such as self-regulation and attitudes and traits of blended learning designs such as one-on-one support,
technology quality, and online tools forecasted students' satisfaction as an outcome. The findings show that design
characteristics and student traits are important indicators for student learning outcomes in blended learning.

ABSTRACT:The teaching and learning process has been a big revolution since Corona Virus Disease 19
(COVID-19) has spread out to the world. This paper assessed adoption of Online Teaching and Learning in the
Midst of COVID-19 in Tertiary Learning Institutions in Tanzania. Specifically, the study examined readiness
level of students and teachers on the practices of online teaching and learning strategy during COVID-19 and
lock down; the attitude of students towards online teaching and learning; and online teaching and learning
facilities in Tertiary Learning Institutions in Tanzania. A case study research design was adopted while a sample
of 87 respondents was selected using judgemental sampling technique. Data was collected through a
questionnaire tool while descriptive statistics was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that57.5% of
students were ready to learn though online services. On other hand the findings revealed that college
management and staff were not ready to adopt online teaching and learning strategy. The reluctant of staffs
were caused by inadequate online learning resources, incapability of staff, and absence of policies and
guidelines issued by government on application of online teaching and learning programs. The study concludes
that although there was high degree of readiness of students and internet accessibility, the adoption of online
teaching and learning strategy was impossible due to inadequate facilities. Therefore, the study recommend to
the government to establish and issue the policies and guidelines about the application of online teaching and
learning technologies.

E Learning was adopted by most universities and colleges worldwide to provide students with ongoing education during the COVID 19 pandemic and is here to last even after the pandemic is over. This study sought to explore the experiences of the students at a higher education institution in Eswatini during the COVID 19 pandemic. The study was based on the following objectives Establish the experiences of higher education students in e learning during the period of COVID 19, determine the challenges faced by the students in e learning during the period of COVID 19 and recommend how e learning may be sustained even after the pandemic. The study was underpinned by the diffusion of innovation theory and was located in the interpretivist research paradigm which followed a qualitative research approach where a phenomenological research design was applied. The study conveniently selected a sample of fifteen 15 fourth year students doing teacher education at a university in Eswatini. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study reveal that e learning was the most appropriate teaching and learning process during the COVID 19 pandemic and has benefits that make it sustainable after COVID 19. This study concludes that students are able to learn at the comfort of their homes due to the flexible nature of e learning. However, despite the positive impact of e learning there are some challenges students face which include limited physical contact and collaboration. The University should try by all means to provide the students with tools for effective teaching and learning. Based on the findings and conclusions, the study recommends that students should be provided with digital tools, trained adequately and get constant updates of software features. The study also recommends that for e learning to be sustained even after the pandemic the university should provide modern technology tools and keep updating the software as well as widen the internet broadband for effective teaching and learning.

Here are the key points about diagnostic imaging:
- X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to penetrate the body and create images of internal structures on film or screens.
- X-rays are useful for detecting abnormalities like broken bones, tumors, dental issues, and foreign bodies in a non-invasive way.
- Computed tomography (CT) scans combine X-rays with computer technology to produce more detailed cross-sectional images of the body.
In summary, diagnostic imaging techniques like X-rays and CT scans use radiation to safely visualize internal structures and detect any abnormalities without invasive procedures. CT provides especially detailed cross-sectional views enabled by computer processing.

learning effectiveness indicators, taking learning outcomes as dependent variables and design features and learner
background or attributes as independent variables. Results of multiple regression analyses indicated learner
attributes such as self-regulation and attitudes and traits of blended learning designs such as one-on-one support,
technology quality, and online tools forecasted students' satisfaction as an outcome. The findings show that design
characteristics and student traits are important indicators for student learning outcomes in blended learning.

The Adoption of Online Teaching and Learning strategy in Tertiary Learning In...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT:The teaching and learning process has been a big revolution since Corona Virus Disease 19
(COVID-19) has spread out to the world. This paper assessed adoption of Online Teaching and Learning in the
Midst of COVID-19 in Tertiary Learning Institutions in Tanzania. Specifically, the study examined readiness
level of students and teachers on the practices of online teaching and learning strategy during COVID-19 and
lock down; the attitude of students towards online teaching and learning; and online teaching and learning
facilities in Tertiary Learning Institutions in Tanzania. A case study research design was adopted while a sample
of 87 respondents was selected using judgemental sampling technique. Data was collected through a
questionnaire tool while descriptive statistics was used for data analysis. The findings revealed that57.5% of
students were ready to learn though online services. On other hand the findings revealed that college
management and staff were not ready to adopt online teaching and learning strategy. The reluctant of staffs
were caused by inadequate online learning resources, incapability of staff, and absence of policies and
guidelines issued by government on application of online teaching and learning programs. The study concludes
that although there was high degree of readiness of students and internet accessibility, the adoption of online
teaching and learning strategy was impossible due to inadequate facilities. Therefore, the study recommend to
the government to establish and issue the policies and guidelines about the application of online teaching and
learning technologies.
Key words: Online Teaching and Learning, Tertiary Learning Institutions, COVID-19, Online learning

This document summarizes research on the impact of a blended learning approach that combines traditional face-to-face instruction with online learning. A study was conducted involving 128 undergraduate students in Kuwait, with some taking a course using a blended model and others a traditional model. Students in the blended model group significantly outperformed those in the traditional group on projects, exams, online course participation, and attendance. Other research discussed found blended learning improved standardized test scores, communication/collaboration skills, and student motivation in the US. Additional studies showed blended learning helped reduce achievement gaps between urban and rural schools, and had a positive impact on student achievement in science classes in Australia.
Experiences of University Students with E Learning for Teacher Preparation du...ijtsrd
E Learning was adopted by most universities and colleges worldwide to provide students with ongoing education during the COVID 19 pandemic and is here to last even after the pandemic is over. This study sought to explore the experiences of the students at a higher education institution in Eswatini during the COVID 19 pandemic. The study was based on the following objectives Establish the experiences of higher education students in e learning during the period of COVID 19, determine the challenges faced by the students in e learning during the period of COVID 19 and recommend how e learning may be sustained even after the pandemic. The study was underpinned by the diffusion of innovation theory and was located in the interpretivist research paradigm which followed a qualitative research approach where a phenomenological research design was applied. The study conveniently selected a sample of fifteen 15 fourth year students doing teacher education at a university in Eswatini. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study reveal that e learning was the most appropriate teaching and learning process during the COVID 19 pandemic and has benefits that make it sustainable after COVID 19. This study concludes that students are able to learn at the comfort of their homes due to the flexible nature of e learning. However, despite the positive impact of e learning there are some challenges students face which include limited physical contact and collaboration. The University should try by all means to provide the students with tools for effective teaching and learning. Based on the findings and conclusions, the study recommends that students should be provided with digital tools, trained adequately and get constant updates of software features. The study also recommends that for e learning to be sustained even after the pandemic the university should provide modern technology tools and keep updating the software as well as widen the internet broadband for effective teaching and learning.

John Locke was an influential Enlightenment thinker whose ideas shaped modern concepts of liberty and government. He proposed that all people are born with natural rights to life, liberty, and property, and that governments should protect these rights. If governments fail to do so, people have a right to rebel. Locke's view that people are born with a blank slate influenced the Declaration of Independence's phrase about the "pursuit of happiness." His ideas helped establish principles of equality, limited government, and individual freedom that formed the basis of Western liberal democracies.

Stereotactic radiosurgery uses highly focused radiation to damage the DNA of tumor cells or abnormal blood vessels in the brain, causing them to stop reproducing and shrink over time, typically 18 months to two years for benign tumors or vessels and faster for malignant tumors. Unlike other radiation therapies, it does not remove the tumor but slowly reduces it through controlled cell death. The procedure works by precisely delivering high doses of radiation to a targeted area while avoiding exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

beneficiaries. Developed as well as developing countries are considering shifting the mode of teaching
and learning from traditional to modern (by incorporating the electronic gadgets to deliver the
information) (Smart & Cappel, 2001). Higher education institutions working to provide learning
opportunities to young adults by offering web-oriented courses (Haugen & Melrose, 2001). This
innovative way of teaching demands revisions in exited curriculum and the traditional way of teaching
(Neill & Donoghue, 2004).
E-learning is considered as an integrated product of education and technology. The learning that
utilizes technology (multimedia gadgets and the internet etc.) to develop a better understanding among
students is said to be e-learning. It also categorizes as web-based learning (Altman, Mittal, &
Pagalthivarthi, 2007). Such learning could be occurred by employing different ways for instance: self-
learning by managing study units at the individual level, asynchronous as well as synchronous sessions.
Where students are allowed to interact as per their convenience either at different times or learn in real
classrooms (Ryan, 2001).
Despite the tremendous increase in the trend of e-learning, still, there is a space for
advancement. Similarly, teachers and administrative authorities should understand the students’
learning needs of e-learning regarding their perceptions and implications. The consideration of ways
that promote learning attitude among students is also important, as motivation and students’ attitude
plays a significant role in students’ learning (Koohang & Durante, 2003).
Excited literature highlighted the importance of active involvement of students in studies
promotes learning among students (Pike, Kuh, & Gonyea, 2003; Thomas & Higbee, 2000; Ullah &
Wilson, 2007; Wagenaar, Scherpbier, Boshuizen, & Van der Vleuten, 2003; Watkins, 2005). That
includes students’ learning activities that make them involved in the process of learning that provoke
them to think about their progress in learning. Modern e-learning programs promote the active
engagement of students in their learning activities as students are supposed to complete their
assignments on their own through the utilization of e-resources. Such learning allows students to refine
their previous concepts on the bases of their new understandings (Johnston & Killion, 2005).
Students are more capable to resolve their problems either they belong to their educational field
or from their professional life, as they have the proficiency to understand the existing context and then
apply the knowledge to resolve it. Students’ involvement not only promotes students’ learning but also
helps to motivate students for learning. They become able to realize their problems and active thinking
support to resolve those problems (Driscoll & Carliner, 2005).
The use of e-learning provides an opportunity to have a context of real-life that promote
students’ engagement to resolve their academic issues. The availability of such context facilitates
students by developing their critical thinking skills. As they practice to analyze the problem and then
apply the knowledge that they have (Scriven & Paul, 2004). For this purpose retention of learned
content and application of this information to improve the performance plays an important role. e-
learning provides such a platform where students learn through their own learning experiences,
actively involved in their learning activities, not only analyze their problems and context but also
synthesize all the required information to construct new knowledge (Driscoll & Carliner, 2005).
E-learning provides many opportunities to the learners due to its flexible nature, they
conveniently manage time from their routine life to learn the lectures and complete their assignments.
Moreover, one of the benefits of e-learning is the cheap availability of learning content that students

could utilize as per their requirement (McDonald, 2000).
The current pandemic situation due to the COVID 19, bounds the university authorities to shift
the traditional way of teaching to online learning. Such circumstances raise the teachers' and students'
dependency on technology. However, the existing literature proves that online learning positively
affects students’ learning (Caywood & Duckett, 2003; Holzweiss, Joyner, Fuller, Henderson, & Young,
2014). But there is a grey area concerning the comparison of both modes of classes regarding university
students’ perspectives in the Pakistani context. Therefore, the current research was conducted to find
out the university students’ perspectives regarding their experience of online classes and on-campus
classes.
2. Research Questions of the study:
These research questions were articulated to achieve the aforementioned objective:
What is university students’ perception of traditional class formats?
What is university students’ perception of the online class format?
Is the mean difference in university students’ perceptions of online classes significant
regarding their gender?
Is the mean difference in university students’ perceptions of on-campus classes significant
regarding their gender?
3. Research Methodology
This study was quantitative in nature and the descriptive approach was utilized to investigate
the students’ perceptions of online and on-campus classes at the university level. The population was
comprised of all the students who were enrolled in BS programs at district Lahore (either in public or
private universities). The sample consisted of 440 students (219 female and 221 male), selected by
convenient sampling technique. The 216 respondents belonged to public universities and 224 were from
private universities. The researcher developed the questionnaire to collect data that was comprised of
three parts. The first part reflects the demographic characteristics of the participants whereas the
second and third part was about the university students’ perspectives regarding online and on-campus
classes respectively. The questionnaire consisted of 5 point Likert scale with 60 items. The validity of
the instrument was made sure by educational and assessment experts’ opinions. However, a pilot study
was conducted on 30 participants to ensure reliability. Its value was 0.821 which is statistically
acceptable.
4. Findings of the Study
Collected data were analyzed by applying descriptive (mean, standard deviation) and inferential
statistics (Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann Whitney U tests) with the help of SPSS version 23.

through Wilcoxon Signed-rank test. The results indicated that university students were more satisfied
with on-campus classes. As the value of online classes (M = 3.4927, SD =.73552) is significantly lesser
than the mean value of on-campus classes (M = 3.8848, SD = .36648), (Z = -11.346, p = .000). These
results are evidence that the difference in mean score is significant.

To have a comparison of male and female students’ mean scores that reflect their perceptions
regarding online classes, the Mann-Whitney-U test was utilized. The result shows that U = -2.126, p =
.033 (p <.05). These results highlighted the existence of a difference between the responses is
significant. The mean score of females is 207.67, lesser than the mean score of females that is 233.45. It
shows that males are more inclined towards learning through online classes.

the mean score for males is 219.87 and females that is 221.13.
5. Conclusion and Discussion
Based on findings, it is concluded that overall university students prefer to learn through on-
campus classes as compared to online classes. It is so because many students belong to the rural areas
where they don’t have proper facilities like stable internet connection, personal computer/ laptop, and
generator or UPS in case of load shading, etc., that raise a communication barrier between the student
and teacher. Due to such circumstances, they faced difficulty in concept clarity. Therefore, students
were not satisfied with the online classes. These results have an inconsistency with the previously
conducted research by Mgutshini (2013), as she highlighted that students perform better in their online
classes as compared to on-campus. She claimed that students’ better performance is indicated that they
were satisfied with their online classes. The reason behind such contradictory results might be the
contextual difference. As the aforementioned study was carried out by the researcher in normal
circumstances where students had choices either to prefer study through traditional format by visiting
the campus and study in formal classrooms, or study by utilizing online resources. But in the current
study, all students were bound to attend on-line classes as they have no other choice due to the
pandemic situation.
It is also concluded that male students are more inclined towards learning through online

classes, whereas female students were in favor of on-campus classes. These findings are inconsistent
with the results of Paul and Jefferson (2019). They identified that all students equally perform better in
their traditional/on-campus as well as online classes because the results of their study showed no
significant difference in students’ means scores concerning gender. The reason behind this
disagreement may be the circumstantial difference. Because in the Pakistani context, girls are supposed
to perform domestic chores along with their studies. That may create difficulty for them to manage
their academic activities along with their domestic responsibilities. By considering these results, it is
suggested that qualitative research should be carried out on the same topic by future researchers that
may highlight students’ problems that they faced during this pandemic situation while attending online
classes.
