Abstract:
In response to the control of coronavirus outbreak, the use of distance learning measures has gained momentum to limit the disruption of education. To continue the classes, Nagaoka College, National Institute of Technology has implemented asynchronous online class. The goal of this study is to understand the effectiveness of asynchronous online learning from the student’s perspective. A total of 229 students participated in the survey and presented their perspectives. The overall results showed that 67.6% of the students were satisfied with asynchronous learning. The organized assignment and feedback from teachers were the key facilitators for keeping the students interested in the study. Based on the students’ opinion, the hybrid form of learning (i.e., face-to-face and asynchronous online learning) could be the most suitable format of learning. Therefore, this study would assist higher education professionals to develop feasible and supportive approaches for effective distance learning.
