Many students recognised that online learning is helpful preparation for face-to-face classes, beyond the logistical convenience. To help them learn best, students said that online materials should first and foremost be short, as the “act of sitting in front of a video for two hours” can be “tedious and tiring”. They found themselves more motivated to complete the online learning when instructors clearly outlined how it relates to the face-to-face class. Students are also looking for a clear and consistent online learning experience, pointing out how confusing it is when different instructors set up their content, quizzes and assignment submissions differently on the learning management system, or when there are no clear instructions.
