Note: Learn Online: High School Students’ Adoption of Online Learning in Bangladesh during COVID-19 Pandemic
Pages 603 - 607
Abstract
Online learning is playing a significant role, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we perform an interview study through in-depth interviews with 22 high school students of a developing country (Bangladesh) to find out about their experience and practices with online learning during the pandemic. Our findings reveal several usage strategies, challenges of the conventional usage of online learning, workarounds students adopt to address those challenges. Through the adaptability lens, we find that many students are adapting to online learning despite being in favor of it.
