Distance Learning: Student's Perception of the Substitution of on-site Classes by Online Tools during the COVID-19 Pandemic

J. Cunha, S. Teufel, E. Bas, and M. Guillo

Abstract—This study draws on social innovation theory and method to analyze how distance learning was perceived by students during the Covid-19 pandemic. By looking in detail at this particular social context, this research uncovers some of the barriers to the continuity and future use of this model. It also contributes by further exploring elements of social innovation, still considered a fragmented and underdeveloped field of research. The findings suggest that students are positive about distance learning on a rational level, slightly positive about it emotionally, and neutral when it comes to resilience. Yet, they strongly believe distance learning could be useful in different contexts and that it has potential for further improvements.

Index Terms—Covid-19, distance learning, social innovation, user perception.
