Literature Review:

  1. Online learning offers flexible education, but students often face challenges requiring adaptation, such as productivity and organization issues. This blog explores key obstacles in online learning and suggests study apps to help overcome them, ensuring a successful learning experience.
  2. Online education, as defined by Harasim (1989) and Ascough (2002), offers a unique learning experience through computer-mediated communication. Donnelly & McAvinia (2012) highlight the lack of training and experience in using technology for education. Online learning has made higher education more accessible and affordable for many learners (Bianco & Carr-Chellman, 2002).

Data Collection:

  5. I prefer in-person lectures

For this Google Forms were created and a Survey was performed at ITM Business School, and 107 students’ opinions were recorded. From the collected Mean, Standard Deviation, Standard Error and Z-score were derived.
