In your opinion, have the students remained as interested in the courses, even if they take place online?
Besides it is a forward-looking and interesting question, the moment chosen by Prof. Laura Bulgariu for this valuable question is well chosen.
From my point of view, online-learning is like swimming without water. It cannot be a substitute for face-to-face learning, it is complementary to classroom teaching.
In other words, e-learning alone ( i.e. distance learning) will not succeed without traditional face-to-face learning. Because e-learning hasn't achieved the desired aims or results, traditional learning is better. At least, the hybrid learning (i.e. blended learning) of both of them is better than the traditional one. This is especially true for developing countries.
From another angle, online learning increases the black market of education. I am sorry to say that e-learning has succeeded in increasing the market of cheating!
But, in this disaster of COVID-19, we haven't another choice; we must use e-learning. Therefore, courses must be reengineered to be well structured. In all cases, the exams must be inside the learning institutes without forgetting to keep enough distances between students.
Finally, students will be more interested if they know that the exams will be inside their learning institutes.
There is no substitute of face to face learning. Online teaching just help students to keep in track.
I think the students remained not as interested in the online courses:
Some students are living in homes that may not have access to Wi-Fi or limited access at best. Many of those students may not have a “device” to use for schoolwork. Yes, schools hand out devices to students, which is extremely helpful, but not all families are experts at devices and Wi-Fi. Common Sense Media reports (Today Show. 04/21/20) that over 10 million students in the US do not have devices. If teachers and leaders are struggling with technology, perhaps it’s probable that families are struggling with technology, too? Not everyone works for the Geek Squad.
The students interest and engagement decreased during online classes
Yes depending upon the intent, content and delivery credentials.

In my openion, on the behalf of a student, majority of students are not interested in electronic classes. On the behalf of a teacher they are not interested, too. Because, unfortunately there is a healthy communication and discussion gap that causes to not deliver his 100% to the learner.
## I belong to both categories of student as well as teacher.
Yes, if it does not interfere with the timing of other tasks. But overall it is boring and not much learning happens.
From my experience it us mixed, some are very much interested while others have lost the interest. My youngest kid just can’t focus online with supervision; while my oldest has embraced it and is even doing addition courses.
I believe it is more difficult for students to focus on their respective topics. The classroom environment will not be surpassed by the age of the computer in the foreseeable future. The need for personal interaction with teachers will not end any time soon.
It's all depends on teacher-student interaction, content presentation, connectivity and last but not the least teacher approaches towards online teaching.
Absolutely, especially if the online course is well structured and if they are fully involved in various class activities.
Yes, students should remain interested, provided the content, presentation and interaction skills of the teachers to keep the student's attention. Engagement via activities is vital to keep the student's participation.

I don't think so. Usually, students somehow lose their interest in online mode classes. Until there is a proper face to face class through question and answer mode, there is less effectiveness of such classes.
The answer varies from student to student. While some are utilizing the comforts of home productively, others seem to be unfocused. The general rule, however, continues to apply - smaller classes (ideally not exceeding 20 students) are more conducive to the achievement of learning outcomes.
Yes, am teaching ug students having strength 60 and at least 55 students are coming to attend class daily. I use Xp-pen,Openboard through Google meet and for evaluation I put them quiz and by doing all this they are always interested to attend the class and very keen to new things. I am adding the link to make teaching more interesting.

@dibakar bhakta sir,..meet or any other app is face to face, if you allow students to on camara and mute voice..
I think, online teaching is more effective than simple using blackboard.
Through online we can visualize the structure through gdis, xrysden etc and visualize many more things with the related topic. So I think this is also best.
I think they were more interested and engaged during traditional teaching and learning.
Interest is generally somewhat lower. But the key question is why and what does it depend on?
Probably one of the important reasons is the way knowledge is tested online. Students hope to pass the exams more easily online because various additional (irregular methods) are available to them. However, it depends on the teachers and how prepared they are for this way of working. It certainly requires a lot more effort than the classic way of working (from my own experience I can say that).
On the other hand, this way of working in some cases has advantages over the classic way of working, which can be applied even after the COVID crisis.
Because of all that, quality teacher training is needed for this way of working.
In addition, the fact is that online teaching at some reputable institutions has existed for ten years and no one doubts its quality.
They lost their interest during online study.
I observed it during my lectures
I would say it has been hard for students to concentrate as they did before COVID-19.
No. They are badly suffered. They are not much interested as they were before the pandemic.
The learning process depends on both the teacher and the learners. The teacher has the greatest role and responsibility especially in e-learning, with regard to motivating students and increasing their interests in lectures and courses. The content of lecture, the way it is presented, and the interaction with students are very important matters in this regard.
No I don't think so that the students will be interested and concentrated if the classes will be in online mode.
لا اعتقد ان الطلبة مهتمين بالدورات عبر الإنترنت....خصوصا بعد ان اصبحت المحاضرات الكترونية ....وهذا ولد ملل لهم ...الا اذا كان المعلم بارع في العرض والتقديم وله اسلوب شيق
Yes they are interested depending upon how far and how well we engage our students and hold on to their attention for a given time period. The delivery credentials will decide the fate of the courses on offer.
I feel that classroom teachers should motivate students until they consider the different media as a serious means of learning instructional messages.

Dear Laura Bulgariu
For effective teaching and learning:
(1) i use XP-pen, Open Board, google meet, animations related to the topic, visualization of structure using VESTA software , by making vedios on respective article (e.g. https://youtu.be/blK5rgeKh4g ; https://youtu.be/wfhNr16u9N0 ) on Vesta and gdis.
(2) For the evaluation process, i set the google quiz with time limit of 5-10 minutes (eg.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1e3o2W9nGjd9wqsaSLyreZq9UdH23W2wqVKNQ3-51KDI/edit?usp=sharing ) and make a classroom on "google classroom "(https://classroom.google.com/c/MTQyNDI1NzQ5NjY0?cjc=bpitba6).
By Doing all these, students are constantly remained interested in the topic even if they are online.
In my opinion, the interest of students in the issues of classes, the level of activity during classes, etc. is much lower during classes conducted remotely via the Internet as part of e-learning compared to traditional, stationary teaching.
Best wishes,
Dariusz Prokopowicz
Hello
In my opinion, yes of course. Most of the time to study online is better for them. If we see the MOOCs we can prove it.

Online classes are good but they seem to be less attractive and lack communication compared to the classroom environment. Students get tired of looking at the screen for long hours.
I agree Marius Budeanu
I also see that the interest of students has decreased.
I agree with you, but do you think the students have the desire and preparation for that?
Student engagement and motivation to learn has considerably decreased as indicated by research from various parts of the world. In my university, it decreased drastically in the Spring semester and then improved during the Fall semester
The sooner students are spending more time in classroom interactions the better.
We have seen the same learning enthusiasm from residents in terms of theory concepts, though they are very worry about reduced medical practice in the clinics.
