Abstract

In early 2020, universities across the world ceased face-to-face teaching due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This article explores the experiences of first-year UK university students during this time. Four main themes were identified in the data. Regarding course delivery, students valued the flexibility of blended learning, which involved attending some live sessions while working on others in their own time. Student interaction was mentioned to be critical for learning and how the use of webcams and breakout rooms can facilitate or hinder it. Regarding staff, continuous communication, availability and online drop-ins were highly valued and had a positive impact on satisfaction. Finally, while students benefitted from a coherent use of online tools provided by the university, they also valued the flexibility of using less-regulated tools, including social media.

在COVID-19大流行期间开始上大学
2020年初,由于新冠肺炎大流行,世界各地的大学停止了面对面教学。这篇文章探讨了英国大学一年级学生在这段时间的经历。数据中确定了四个主要主题。在课程交付方面,学生们重视混合式学习的灵活性,即参加一些现场课程,同时利用自己的时间学习其他课程。学生的互动被认为是学习的关键,以及网络摄像头和分组讨论室的使用如何促进或阻碍学习。在员工方面,持续的沟通、可用性和在线拜访受到高度重视,并对满意度产生了积极影响。最后,虽然学生们从大学提供的在线工具的连贯使用中受益,但他们也重视使用监管较少的工具(包括社交媒体)的灵活性。
