Covid-19 has prompted higher education institutions around the globe to relocate offline classes to online classes. Universities in Indonesia were no exception. Indonesia has already developed distance education systems, and there were many challenges to utilizing e-learning. Due to the pandemic, all colleges across Indonesia were compelled to use online platforms to resume their studies.
This study indicates e-learning perceptions' importance in knowledge mastery, social competence, and media literacy abilities. The study assesses college students' attitudes toward e-learning during the ongoing COVID-19 and will be utilized as an evaluation tool by The Higher Education of Education and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia.
The research methods used with a quantitative model, where the sample tested represented the student of 1137 [DJ1] respondents from 43 universities in Indonesia.
The study's findings show a commonly perceived weakness of e-learning was that the majority of respondents got a lack interaction with lecturers (57,6%). The study also identified that the majority of respondents have a moderate mastery of technology 1038 respondents (77.6%), while the remainder has poor and high knowledge of technology. One of the key reason students implement e-learning is the ease with which they may obtain study resources.
According to the study, e-learning technology enables quick access to information, which results in students developing a favorable attitude toward it based on its utility, self-efficacy, the convenience of use, and student behavior related to e-learning. The study verifies the utility of e-learning by demonstrating how it enables students to study from any geographical location, which is not achievable with face-to-face instruction.

This is the dataset "European remote e-learning ecosystem survey data" of the e-DIPLOMA project.
In 2022 the evaluation of the European tertiary training ecosystem capacity for using disruptive technologies in practice based e-learning was explored. It was done in the eDiploma project WP2. The research problem was: What are the main gaps in tertiary education in the institutional capacity to perform practice based e-learning with disruptive technologies? Three survey instruments were developed for three target groups in institutions: technology specialists, educators and students. The survey was composed of four blocks of capacity elements:
infrastructural capacities,
normative and regulatory capacities (institutional level),
teaching cultures (community level),
competences, attitudes and values (personal level).
The data were collected with the anonymous web based survey approach in countries: Spain, Estonia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Cyprus.
In each HEI or VET institution the respondents were:
Technical and didactical support staff: educational technologist, IT or technical support specialists, lecturers responsible for technology training, Digital policy administrative specialist
Lecturers or researchers who have experiences with some forms of group-learning or practice based learning
Students from the institution who have experiences with some forms of group-learning or practice based learning / to be spread among each institution, so that different areas students respond, these should not be one group from one class only)
The answers were collected totally from the following number of the technology specialists-experts (N=96), the educators (N=351), and the students (N=516). The generalizability of the data is limited due to the sampling structure: it was not attempted to reach regional coverage because countries in our sample differ greatly in size. In Estonia responses were collected from 9 institutions (3 vocational schools and 6 HEIs). In Bulgaria responses were from 3 institutions (all HEIs). In Cyprus responses were from 3 institutions (all HEIs). In Hungary responses were from 6 institutions (1 vocational school and 5 HEIs). In Spain responses were from 116 institutions (28 high schools, 41 vocational schools, 47 HEIs). In Italy responses were from 9 institutions (4 HEIs and 5 social enterprises).

Anonymised dataset of 150 online questionnaire (2017) and classroom survey (2018) responses to investigate the role of Emotional Attachment (EA) for online learning. The continuous and ordinal data covers learning background, DV (learning success) & various indicators (constituents) of the IV (Emotional Attachment). The data also includes some qualitative (open-ended) views about the relative importance of EA for learning. Methodology and data The research used mixed methods and sequential explanatory approach to investigate how learning dispositif (LD) influences emotional attachment (EA) and to identify the significant constituents of EA. The first research phase involved the development of the explanatory framework from the diverse strands of literature, as discussed. For the second phase, the research developed a survey instrument, geared around the learning framework and surveyed 150 international tertiary level students in Europe, Russia, Asia, the Middle East and China. Finally, for its third phase to enrich its insights into EA and learning the research conducted qualitative expert interviews.
To identify survey respondents, the research used pragmatic, convenience sampling, distributing the instrument either online or in hard copy version to accessible university cohorts. As far as we are aware, there exists no other quantitative studies on EA and learning, so it was not possible to conduct a meta-analysis to investigate effects size. The research generated three questions and associated hypotheses. The first question concerned the role of LD. The second involved the influence of EA on LS. The third queried the multi-faceted constituents of EA itself. Formally: 1. RQ1: Does LD influence LS? LD is insignificant (H-LD0) for LS vs. the alternative hypothesis that cohort LS varies (H-LD1) 2. RQ2: Does EAs significantly influence learning success? EA is insignificant for learning success (H-EA0) vs. the alternative that EA is significant (H-EA1) 3. RQ3: What are EA’s main constituents? The draft framework underpinned the questions for an online survey of learners and instructors. Likert scales assessed student and instructor perceptions or attitudes to various aspects of EA and learning but the survey also included some open-ended questions. Subsequently, expert interviews and discussions validated and enriched the refined framework. After ethical review, the research piloted interviews with a couple of experienced UK instructors to fine-tune the instrument. Although much of the data was ordinal, it was analysed using non-parametric and parametric statistics.

This spring, students across the globe transitioned from in-person classes to remote learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented change to undergraduate education saw institutions adopting multiple online teaching modalities and instructional platforms. We sought to understand students’ experiences with and perspectives on those methods of remote instruction in order to inform pedagogical decisions during the current pandemic and in future development of online courses and virtual learning experiences. Our survey gathered quantitative and qualitative data regarding students’ experiences with synchronous and asynchronous methods of remote learning and specific pedagogical techniques associated with each. A total of 4,789 undergraduate participants representing institutions across 95 countries were recruited via Instagram. We find that most students prefer synchronous online classes, and students whose primary mode of remote instruction has been synchronous report being more engaged and motivated. Our qualitative data show that students miss the social aspects of learning on campus, and it is possible that synchronous learning helps to mitigate some feelings of isolation. Students whose synchronous classes include active-learning techniques (which are inherently more social) report significantly higher levels of engagement, motivation, enjoyment, and satisfaction with instruction. Respondents’ recommendations for changes emphasize increased engagement, interaction, and student participation. We conclude that active-learning methods, which are known to increase motivation, engagement, and learning in traditional classrooms, also have a positive impact in the remote-learning environment. Integrating these elements into online courses will improve the student experience.

The American Institutes for Research conducted a multisite randomized study that tested an online learning model for credit recovery at 24 high schools in Los Angeles, California in 2018 and 2019. The study focused on first-year high school students who failed Algebra 1 or English 9 (their ninth-grade English course) and retook the course during the summer before their second year of high school. Within each participating school, we used a lottery to determine whether each student was placed in either the school’s typical teacher-directed class (business-as-usual control condition) or a class that used an online learning model (treatment condition). For the online learning model, an online provider supplied the main course content, and the school provided a subject-appropriate, credentialed in-class teacher who could supplement the digital content with additional instruction.The study compared outcomes of students assigned to the treatment condition to outcomes of students assigned to the control condition. Analyses focused both on proximal outcomes (ex: student course experiences, content knowledge, and credit recovery rates) and distal outcomes (ex: on-time graduation and cumulative credits earned by the end of the 4th year of high school). We estimated average treatment effects for the intent-to-treat sample using regression models that control for student characteristics and randomization blocks. We conducted separate analyses for students who failed Algebra 1 and students who failed at least one semester of their English 9 course.This ICPSR data deposit includes our final analytical dataset and three supplemental files. Data come from three sources: (1) extant district data on student information and academic outcomes, (2) end-of-course surveys of students’ and teachers’ experiences, and (3) end-of-course test of students’ content knowledge. Data fields include:Sample information: term, school (anonymized), teacher (anonymized), course, randomization block, student cohort, treatment statusDemographics: sex, race/ethnicity, National School Lunch Program status, inclusion in the Gifted/Talented program, Special Education status, and English language learner statusPre-treatment information (treatment group only): 9th grade GPA, 9th grade attendance rate, number of 9th grade courses failed, 8th grade test scoresOnline course engagement information: percentage of online course completed, average score on online activities, minutes spent in online platformStudent survey data: responses a survey administered at the end of the course for treatment and control students. Questions cover degree of student engagement with the course, perceptions of teacher support and course difficulty, and clarity of course expectations.End-of-course test data: answers and scores on an end-of-course assessment administered to treatment and control students to evaluate content knowledge (Algebra 1 or English 9). The test did not count towards the final course grade and included 17-20 multiple choice questions.Academic outcomes: grade in credit recovery course, credits attempted/earned in each year of high school, GPA in each year of high school, credits/GPA in math and ELA in each year of high school, indicator for on-time high school graduation, 10th grade PSAT scoresTeacher survey and logs: teacher-reported logs on the use of different instructional activities and responses to surveys about course pacing, content, goals, and degree of student support

Open Science in (Higher) Education – data of the February 2017 survey
This data set contains:
Survey structure
The survey includes 24 questions and its structure can be separated in five major themes: material used in courses (5), OER awareness, usage and development (6), collaborative tools used in courses (2), assessment and participation options (5), demographics (4). The last two questions include an open text questions about general issues on the topics and singular open education experiences, and a request on forwarding the respondent’s e-mail address for further questionings. The online survey was created with Limesurvey[1]. Several questions include filters, i.e. these questions were only shown if a participants did choose a specific answer beforehand ([n/a] in Excel file, [.] In SPSS).
Demographic questions
Demographic questions asked about the current position, the discipline, birth year and gender. The classification of research disciplines was adapted to general disciplines at German higher education institutions. As we wanted to have a broad classification, we summarised several disciplines and came up with the following list, including the option “other” for respondents who do not feel confident with the proposed classification:
The current job position classification was also chosen according to common positions in Germany, including positions with a teaching responsibility at higher education institutions. Here, we also included the option “other” for respondents who do not feel confident with the proposed classification:
We chose to have a free text (numerical) for asking about a respondent’s year of birth because we did not want to pre-classify respondents’ age intervals. It leaves us options to have different analysis on answers and possible correlations to the respondents’ age. Asking about the country was left out as the survey was designed for academics in Germany.
Remark on OER question
Data from earlier surveys revealed that academics suffer confusion about the proper definition of OER[2]. Some seem to understand OER as free resources, or only refer to open source software (Allen & Seaman, 2016, p. 11). Allen and Seaman (2016) decided to give a broad explanation of OER, avoiding details to not tempt the participant to claim “aware”. Thus, there is a danger of having a bias when giving an explanation. We decided not to give an explanation, but keep this question simple. We assume that either someone knows about OER or not. If they had not heard of the term before, they do not probably use OER (at least not consciously) or create them.
Data collection
The target group of the survey was academics at German institutions of higher education, mainly universities and universities of applied sciences. To reach them we sent the survey to diverse institutional-intern and extern mailing lists and via personal contacts. Included lists were discipline-based lists, lists deriving from higher education and higher education didactic communities as well as lists from open science and OER communities. Additionally, personal e-mails were sent to presidents and contact persons from those communities, and Twitter was used to spread the survey.
The survey was online from Feb 6th to March 3rd 2017, e-mails were mainly sent at the beginning and around mid-term.
Data clearance
We got 360 responses, whereof Limesurvey counted 208 completes and 152 incompletes. Two responses were marked as incomplete, but after checking them turned out to be complete, and we added them to the complete responses dataset. Thus, this data set includes 210 complete responses. From those 150 incomplete responses, 58 respondents did not answer 1st question, 40 respondents discontinued after 1st question. Data shows a constant decline in response answers, we did not detect any striking survey question with a high dropout rate. We deleted incomplete responses and they are not in this data set.
Due to data privacy reasons, we deleted seven variables automatically assigned by Limesurvey: submitdate, lastpage, startlanguage, startdate, datestamp, ipaddr, refurl. We also deleted answers to question No 24 (email address).

The main aim of this work was to explore how online training events, outside of traditional academic courses, can support Social Science, Arts and Humanities (SHAPE) students to develop data skills.
There is international demand for data skills in the workplace, and Governments are increasingly concerned with how quantitative data skills are acquired for 21st Century jobs. If SHAPE students are trained in data skills they can enter into statistical professions and data careers. Online learning has risen significantly in the last decade, and even more so since the COVID-19 pandemic. Within the field of social research methods, online learning has grown rapidly and there is an emerging literature on the pedagogy. Data skills are vital for research and there is acknowledgement that online learning can play a role in data skills training.
The data collection contains anonymised transcripts from 8 qualitative semi-structured individual interviews with SHAPE students who attended UK Data Service online training events. The interviews explored why the student had attended the UKDS event, what they learnt from it, how it has supported the development of data skills and how this will help their career. Ten students participated in the original study – we have consent from eight of ten the students to share their anonymised data in this repository.

In a 2019 survey, 23 percent of grade 6-12 students reported that their teacher spent all of the class using digital learning technologies to teach in science, math, and history/social studies. All of these were significantly below computer science/information technology though, with 60 percent of surveyed students stating that they were taught using digital learning tools for the entire class.
Note the time teachers spend teaching a subject with digital tools was differentiated in the survey from the time students spent learning with digital learning tools. For almost all subjects, the time spent learning with digital tools was lower than the time spent teaching.
