Effectiveness of online education during the COVID-19 pandemic: a study of Bangladesh

PurposeThe novel coronavirus (COVID-19) remains a global public health emergency as declared by the World Health Organization (WHO). The COVID-19 impacted educational institutions around the world, and they were shut down to minimize the fatalities and spread of the infection. Educational institutions around the world, including Bangladesh, started to conduct online classes as an alternative to physical classes. Therefore, this study assesses the effectiveness of online classes in terms of information and communications technology (ICT) readiness, online class assessment, online class participation, and convenience and flexibility for the educational institutions of Bangladesh.Design/methodology/approachTo fulfill the objective of the study, data were collected from 817 teachers and students. Additionally, the partial least squares (PLS) regression method was adopted as a quantitative technique.FindingsThe study shows that online class participation, online class assessment, and convenience and flexibility have positive relationships with ICT readiness and the effectiveness of online classes. At the same time, the challenges of online classes have negative relationships with ICT readiness and the effectiveness of online classes.Practical implicationsThe study suggests that the government should ensure stable internet connectivity access across the country so that both students and teachers can participate in online classes effectively. Moreover, educational institutional authorities should extend support to the institutions for developing proper ICT infrastructure.Originality/valueICT infrastructure readiness is the backbone for effective online education; however, before the COVID-19 pandemic, online education was almost non-existent at the educational institutional level in Bangladesh. The country started developing the ICT infrastructure only when online classes were scheduled to start, and the development is still ongoing. Hence, this study used ICT readiness as a mediator factor. Moreover, primary data are used in this study. The findings of the study will help academicians and policymakers to better understand the effectiveness of online classes.

The supporting infrastructure for digitalization, such as easy internet access connectivity, especially in the country's remote areas, can be improved.

Project-Based Learning for Mechanical Engineering Students in the Emergency Remote Teaching

Covid-19 has changed a lot of life sectors, including education. The government’s policy to carry out emergency remote teaching (ERT) immediately switches the teachers’ and lecturers’ plans on successful classroom activities. One of the classroom’s activities is project-based learning (PBL). With several limitations, challenges should be taken on so that designing simple but meaningful projects can facilitate project-based learning. Thus, some adaptations should be made since some students are economically impacted. Online learning modes, either synchronous or asynchronous were held to communicate the project. A descriptive qualitative research method was employed by involving two classes of mechanical engineering students. Data were collected from learning platforms observations, interviews with students’ representatives, and questionnaires administered to all students. The project was conducted in four stages; beginning the infographic project, developing the project, closing the project, and evaluating the project. The research indicated that the students completed and engaged in the project successfully through some problems that came up, mainly when the students had to have group work and communicate using internet media since most students were back home with various internet connection access. However, some assessable applications were employed so that the project was well accomplished. In conclusion, conducting a PBL in emergency remote teaching was successfully conducted with some simple available and accessable applications since the students’ conditions varied significantly.

Applying Video for Writing Descriptive Text in Senior High School in the Covid-19 Pandemic Transition

The emergence of the Covid-19 as the global pandemic with its social and physical distancing consequence has affected educational practices. This paper reports the expereince of carrying out a study on applying youtube video for writing of descriptive text in EFL Class. The purpose of this research was to find out whether the videos can develop students’ ability in writing descriptive text or not. The study took place in the time before and during the covid-19 emergence. As quantitative research, this study applied pre-experimental design. The participant of this research was the 1st year students of one of the prominence senior high schools in Manado, Indonesia. They were 26 students of language class. The results indicated that the mean score of the post-test is significantly higher that of the pre-test. This points out that the use of YouTube video in teaching the writing of descriptive text is effective. However, the emergence of Covid-19 pandemic influenced the implementation of intervention that later affected students’ achievement. The result of this study is not fully in line with the outcome of the previous studies which hypothetically resulted in two to four gains of scores. In addition, it implies that the use of YouTube video in this pandemic transition period seems to be helpful mostly to low level students as they displayed higher gains. Besides, this study denotes the challenges for teachers and students in the Covid-19 pandemic era namely the competence in online learning, and the internet connectivity access and learning mode system.

An aerial intelligent relay-road side unit (AIR-RSU) framework for modern intelligent transportation system

In transportation environment, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is being used in various stages of every transport mode (road, rail, air & sea). The aim of intelligent transportation system is to provide the On-Road Vehicles (ORVs) with reliable Internet access connectivity, emergency notification and other safety information via infrastructure-based Road Side Units (RSUs). In the past decade, intelligent transportation system has been started in many countries where RSUs are provided with all type of communication services to connect, compute, communicate and share the information between its neighboring RSUs and on-road vehicles. However, there are certain diffcuilties in which the information cannot be delivered reliably such as Line Of Sight (LOS) communication with on-road vehicles, packet loss, latency, retransmission overhead and multiple target tracking of objects over time-to-time etc. Thus, the intelligent transportation system becomes a complex network of entities. Modern intelligent transportation systems use relay-RSU nodes (i.e., small sized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) also referred as RRSU node network deployed between satellites and on-road vehicles as they provide many advanages like coverage, reliability and information sharing without depending more on knowledge provided by satellites. In this paper, a novel Aerial Intelligent Relay-Road Side Unit (AIR-RSU) framework has been proposed to determine the network connectivity status level and analyze the communication link stability among RRSUs, and between RRSUs and on-road vehicles for every time instants Ti based on certain performance metrics discussed in this paper. The proposed AIR-RSU framework holds the precise status/information about the network connectivity needed in the transportation environment carefully and effectively accounting the frequent changes in positions. The performance of the proposed AIR-RSU framework is evaluated using rectangle waypoint mobility model for on-road vehicles and steady state random waypoint mobility model for RRSU nodes, which measures the network connectivity status and the performance metrics periodically. Furthermore, a comparative analysis is done to both individual nodes and entire network in terms of network load.

Unveiling network and service performance degradation in the wild with mplane

Unveiling network and service performance issues in complex and highly decentralized systems such as the Internet is a major challenge. Indeed, the Internet is based on decentralization and diversity. However, its distributed nature leads to operational brittleness and difficulty in identifying the root causes of performance degradation. In such a context, network measurements are a fundamental pillar to shed light on and unveil design and implementation defects. To tackle this fragmentation and visibility problem, we recently conceived mPlane, a distributed measurement platform that runs, collects, and analyzes traffic measurements to study the operation and functioning of the Internet. In this article, we show the potentiality of the mPlane approach to unveil network and service degradation issues in live operational networks, involving both fixed-line and cellular networks. In particular, we combine active and passive measurements to troubleshoot problems in end-customer Internet access connections, or to automatically detect and diagnose anomalies in Internet-scale services (e.g., YouTube) that impact a large number of end users.

Review: MITx's online circuit and analysis course [Education

MIT's anant agarwal has a thing for chain saws. The professor of electrical engineering and computer science said so himself as he welcomed his vast horde of online students. And it was a horde: More than 150 000 of us from dozens of countries had signed up for MIT?s inaugural MOOC, or massively open online course, which began in early March and ended in June. The course, dubbed 6.002x, was an adaptation of MIT?s undergraduate class in circuit design and analysis and was part of the university?s MITx initiative, which aims to offer anyone with an Internet connection access to a selection of its courses. Participants were lured by some powerful enticements: MIT?s prestige, the opportunity to learn from a renowned professor, and the price-free. Although MIT has made course materials publicly available for over a decade, this is its first online class involving scheduled instruction, supervision, and testing. Only participants who formally signed up for the 6.002x course were eligible to earn a credential certifying successful completion; MIT has not announced when the course will be offered again. In an early recorded lecture, which

Potential benefit of flow‐based routing in multihomed environments

AbstractThe data rates provisioned by broadband Internet access connections continue to fall short of the requirements posed by emerging applications. However, the potential of statistical multiplexing of the last mile broadband connections remains unexploited even as the average utilisation of these connections remains low. Despite recent work in this area, two key questions remain unanswered: (a) what is the attainable benefit of broadband access sharing? and (b) how much of this benefit is realisable given real‐world constraints? In this work we quantify the attainable benefit of a multihomed broadband access environment by proposing and evaluating several flow‐based access sharing policies using a custom flow‐based simulator. We then analyse how much of the performance benefit is lost due to real‐world constraints by migrating from simulations to a test‐lab environment employing a wireless network. Our results show that in today's broadband Internet access scenarios, a significant reduction in download times (up to a factor of 3) is achievable. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
