The COVID-19 pandemic has posed a significant challenge to higher education and forced academic institutions across the globe to abruptly shift to remote teaching. Because of the emergent transition, higher education institutions continuously face difficulties in creating satisfactory online learning experiences that adhere to the new norms. This study investigates the transition to online learning during Covid-19 to identify factors that influenced students' satisfaction with the online learning environment. Adopting a mixed-method design, we find that students' experience with online learning can be negatively affected by information overload, and perceived technical skill requirements, and describe qualitative evidence that suggest a lack of social interactions, class format, and ambiguous communication also affected perceived learning. This study suggests that to digitalize higher education successfully, institutions need to redesign students' learning experience systematically and re-evaluate traditional pedagogical approaches in the online context.

Practitioner notes

What is already known about this topic

• University transitions to online learning during the Covid-19 pandemic were undertaken by faculty and students who had little online learning experience.
• The transition to online learning was often described as having a negative influence on students' learning experience and mental health.
• Varieties of cognitive load are known predictors of effective online learning experiences and satisfaction.

What this paper adds

• Information overload and perceptions of technical abilities are demonstrated to predict students' difficulty and satisfaction with online learning.
• Students express negative attitudes towards factors that influence information overload, technical factors, and asynchronous course formats.
• Communication quantity was not found to be a significant factor in predicting either perceived difficulty or negative attitudes.

Implications for practice and/or policy

• We identify ways that educators in higher education can improve their online offerings and implementations during future disruptions.
• We offer insights into student experience concerning online learning environments during an abrupt transition.
• We identify design factors that contribute to effective online delivery, educators in higher education can improve students' learning experiences during difficult periods and abrupt transitions to online learning.

试析新闻写作中理论与文体的一种矛盾现象     

杨希波 《德州学院学报》2003,19(1):92-93,102

在新闻写作理论中，关于消息的文体特征，一般都概括为：客观报道，用事实说话。而在讲到消息中的述评性消息时，又将其特征概括为：边叙边议，边述边评。这就形成了理论与文体的矛盾，这种矛盾，不但造成新闻写作理论自身的混乱，同时又使述评消息作为一种文体显得不伦不类。  相似文献

我国税收征管制度亟待完善     

周珍 《新乡师范高等专科学校学报》2004,18(6):96-98

当前我国税收征管的完善面临的突出问题是税源监控手段落后,征管内部监控弱化,税收立法层次较低,税制结构不合理以及税务队伍综合素质偏低,导致了"征收、管理、稽查、监控"四环节的信息不对称,从而造成大量税收流失,税制僵化,征管成本过高。因此,若要做到地方税收征管的完善,首先要实现税源监控转移,强化征管内部的监控体系,提升税收立法层次,并要多途径地推动税务队伍综合素质的提高。  相似文献   

Critical Chinese as an Additional Language education in Australia: A journey to voices,courage and hope     

Wen Xu  Jorge Knijnik 《British Educational Research Journal》2021,47(6):1635-1651

This article addresses key topics of Chinese as an Additional Language (CAL) education and classroom pedagogical practices. It reports on a 3-year ethnographic study within Australian schools to discuss dialogic pedagogical practices and students’ aspirations. Based on Freire’s conceptualisation of conscientização and banking education, the purpose of this article is therefore to unpack a journey to voices, courage and hope of a cohort of socially, linguistically and economically disadvantaged students in Western Sydney, one of the most culturally diverse regions in the country. Their experiences, responses, dreams and understanding of CAL education in multicultural Australia were thus captured. Our data shows that critical CAL education might point to some avenues for the educational equity agenda. By arguing that emancipatory and critical practices could enhance students to achieve consciousness and collective self-transformation, we aim to make a contribution to the literature on CAL and languages education, which all too often isolates from broader issues in educational theory. The article also adds to the limited research that engages with CAL classroom data. Our critical approach to CAL education illuminates the intersections between language and social inclusion. Considering the worldwide growing upheaval and scepticism around CAL education, we call for writing inclusive languages education and related pedagogical practices into the social inclusion agenda in Australia and internationally, for the teaching and learning of all additional languages.  相似文献
