Abstract | Online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has received a lot of research attention since the start of the pandemic. Drawing on survey data from 1,024 Cambodian university students (60% were females), this study aims to contribute to an understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with this mode of learning and explore university students' attitudes towards it. The study revealed key challenges related to the expense of purchasing Internet data, connectivity issues, disruptive environments for learning, reduced learning interactions, and psychological issues, among other challenges. On the other hand, major opportunities presented by online learning included, among others, improvements in digital knowledge and skills, greater readiness for blended/hybrid learning, enhanced preparedness for future crises, and exposure to greater integration of information and communication technology. The study also revealed that half (50.7%) of the students preferred blended/hybrid learning after the pandemic. Moreover, about one-third (34.8%) of them did not want to continue online learning, while only 14.6% preferred online learning moving forward. The study highlighted reasons behind these preferences and discussed implications for both policy and practice as well as for future research. (As Provided). |
