The recent outbreak of the COVID-19 has led to the need for alternate sources of learning for students in tertiary institutions. The use of online learning has been adopted by some students. There has not been any evaluation of students' attitude to online learning during this period. Thus, this study seeks to determine the attitude of higher education students in Nigeria to online learning. Data was collected using an online survey tool. The results show that Nigerian students are engaged in online learning. It was recommended that the certificates be recognized and online learning be introduced to tertiary institutions.

A key goal of textile design education is to provide students entering the field opportunities to develop a strong design process, and beginning students, in particular, must learn about helpful concept development resources and how to use them to initiate design work and provide direction for further research. In addition, sources of inspiration serve an important role in the development of the design process by activating, prompting, and guiding designers? activities. This article is a case study of a collaborative project undertaken to develop a web-based app, Textiles Archive Design Application (TADA), to provide both a source for inspiration and a foundation for theoretical and conceptual knowledge in textile pattern design among students taking their first textile design course at the undergraduate level.

The immersive and engaging nature of video games has been a promising and effective environment for learning. This study first introduces a motivational learning framework for game-based learning, then takes a recent popular video game, Animal Crossing New Horizons, as an example to further discuss the application of the motivational learning framework. It is expected that more features will be developed in the future in this game to bring more educational benefits for its players.

This case study offers guidance and advice on creating an effective blog, based on the author?s experiences of running his own blog, hosted on WordPress. The article covers some of the essential issues, including tone, audience, credibility, and potential currency, before outlining three key factors that contribute to a successful blog: time, confidence, and forethought. The article provides help to an academic audience in that it offers suggestions around how to soften academic tone for a general audience as well as how blogging could potentially be used in a meaningful way as a form or formative or summative assessment.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online education has become the mainstream offering at all levels?from primary schools to higher education institutions. The pandemic has forced more than 1.6 billion learners, close to 80 percent of the world's enrolled students, to stay physically away from their educational institutions in 161 countries, missing their traditional in-person classroom lectures and related academic activities. Since the beginning of 2020, the pandemic has been a significant challenge to educational institutions and imposed severe restrictions on their traditional mode of conducting academic and assessment activities. Educational institutions were forced to swiftly transform into online offerings for their students, making the significant transition from their traditional mode of educational services. This article discusses the challenges and the benefits of online education and presents a framework for online education transformation, developed through a case study at an Indian Educational Institution. The article also highlights lessons learned and offers a few helpful recommendations.

Distance education has exploded, in recent years, with more students taking online courses than ever before. However, despite the explosion in online course takers, the number of students who are not completing their online degree programs is also growing. Online students report feeling isolation, and a disconnect with their classmates and educational institution. Another phenomenon, social media, has also experienced explosive growth, including the largest in modern society, Facebook. The goal of my research study was to understand if there could be a connection between the use of social media, specifically Facebook and Facebook Messenger, and the isolation that distance students experience. My hope was that this might pave the way to further research using social media as a tool to curb rising attrition rates. Unfortunately, Facebook had some things to teach me first.
