Effectiveness of Online Teaching Methodology on Students’ Learning During Pandemic: The Mediating Role of Online Learning Space Design

Abstract

This study is aimed to analyze the effectiveness of online teaching on students’ learning during the current pandemic. The novelty lies in analyzing the mediating role of online learning space design during an unprecedented situation of a pandemic. The effect of online teaching methodology (instructional design, assessment design, and online teaching platform and online learning space design) on student learning (dependent variable) is studied. Furthermore, the mediating role of online learning space design is investigated by correlating factors that influence student learning. A total of 837 student responses and 86 teacher responses have been recorded using two questionnaires. The results fully support the proposed hypotheses.
