Abstract
Online learning plays a significant role for students. However, with the increasing number of online platforms such as MOOCs, YouTube, etc. students can find it challenging to conveniently use them for learning purposes. Here, technological solutions are yet to achieve proper utilization of those platforms. Therefore, in this paper, we perform a mixed-method study through semi-structured interviews with 18 university students and an online survey of 239 university students from an engineering university situated in Bangladesh. Our findings reveal several influential factors, experiences, challenges of the conventional usage of online platforms for learning. One of the noteworthy findings of our study is that most students use multiple online platforms for an effective learning experience. These findings point to opportunities for design interventions in existing platforms and a need for personalized online platforms for learning purposes.
