Literature Review #2

  •  Visual.


  • Citation.
    • Dhawan, Shivangi. "Online Learning: A Panacea In The Time Of COVID-19 Crisis - Shivangi Dhawan, 2020". SAGE Journals, 2020, https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0047239520934018.
  • Summary. 
    • The author discusses how online learning suddenly became a necessity due to COVID-19 and how colleges now have to change to online learning so quickly.  She then does over the SWOC( Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Challenges.) eLearning has compared to typical education. Finally, Dhawan goes into detail for suggestions on what changes colleges could implement to improve the effectiveness of online learning.

  • Author(s). 
    • Shivangi Dhawan- Shivangi an anassistant professor of Commerce at SGTB Khalsa College, the University of Delhi, for over 5 years and has finished writing 8 peer-reviewed articles on various topics. As she is an assistant professor, she had firsthand experience on how COVID has affected students and thus has authority on talking about the topic.
    •  Give some information on the author(s).  What makes him/her/them knowledgeable on the topic?


  • Key terms.  
    • Distance learning- any learning that occurs when the student is not physically at the school or other teaching environment 
    • human touch- Direct human involvement in teaching or other forms of communications such as discussions and peer review


  • Three Quotes. 
    • "This catastrophe will show us the lucrative side of online teaching and learning. With the help of online teaching modes, we can sermonize a large number of students at any time and in any part of the world."(Dhawan, 7)
    • "Students feel that lack of community, technical problems, and difficulties in understanding instructional goals are the major barriers for online learning"(Dhawan, 8)
    • "E-learning has certain weaknesses in the form that it can hamper the communication between the learner and the educator, that is, direct communication and human touch are lost."(Dhawan, 14)


  • Value. 
    • The reading goes into detail about the issues colleges and students have with online education. I will be using them in my research paper for examples of what is wrong with the current learning system. I will also include the SWOC the author describes as well as the possible changes that could be made to improve the education itself. The reading as a whole will be used to explain the educational side of how distance learning has an effect on students.

Research Question and 3 Scholarly Sources

New Question  As technology has rapidly changed, it is now possible for students to be taught fully online. This new ability could have drastic differences in both the quality of education as well as unintended side effects on students. The question I will be answering is how might online college affect the academic and social life of students from those who had a more traditional in-person college education Research paperwork cited Bettinger, Eric et al.

The graph helps illustrate the percentages of people in several income brackets. I can use it to show how many students do not have internet or computer access. This will be used to point out how less affluent students tend to a larger disadvantage when it comes to e-learning. Source: https://usafacts.org/articles/internet-access-students-at-home/

A Possible topic for research paper

Image
One possible topic for a research paper would be the differences academically and socially between those who took online classes from those who had a more traditional in-person college education. I'm thinking of choosing this topic because it is very preventive in recent years as more and more students take online college. As COVID-19 stopped students from attending in-person classes, knowing the effects of online-only school would be beneficial as it could a cheaper alternative to more traditional higher education.
