-

 By: Academia PH

To respond to the challenge of innovating educational delivery mechanisms in higher education, colleges and universities across the globe ventured into different practices such as distance education, online teaching, remote learning, blended learning, and mobile learning amidst COVID19 pandemic,.

In this Philippine context, according to Erwin et.al (2020) as published in Asia Journal of Distance Education, remote learning reveals a digital divide among Filipino students. This current situation in remote learning may most possibly exacerbate existing inequalities and may translate to barriers in online learning. For example, a cross-sectional study conducted nationwide reported that thirty-two percent (32 %) and twenty-two percent (22%) out of 3, 670 Filipino students surveyed have difficulties adjusting to new learning styles and do not have reliable internet access, respectively (Baticulon et al., 2020).

            Moreover, an emphasis on preparedness for online communication is one significant difference in the literature on e-learning (Kaufmann, 2020). The aim of this research was to find out which aspects of communication students said they were most and least prepared for. Participants in the online classroom answered four open-ended questions about their views of communication preparedness. The findings show that there is a lot of possible ambiguity in this context when it comes to contact and interaction. 

            Furthermore, Because of their obvious simplicity and experience with modern technologies, the new generation of students has been dubbed "digital natives." However, there are also concerns about how well students are equipped for university e-learning environments. Parkes, (2015) investigates student and faculty expectations of student preparedness for a university e-learning environment controlled by a Learning Management System. Students may be fairly prepared to cope with the technologies of e-learning, but they are not well prepared for tasks such as reading and writing, being straightforward and succinct in answers, synthesizing thoughts, preparing plans, presenting points, and working with others.

In order to determine educators' levels of preparedness and access to students and parents during the COVID-19 Emergency Transition to eLearning, we conducted a survey. ElSaheli-Elhage, (2021) discovered a In terms of teaching remotely in general, educating students with disabilities in particular, and employing digital resources, there is a lack of readiness. The study also revealed the challenges educators experience in communicating with students and parents. The research closes with a series of recommendations for addressing the issues identified.
