Abstract

PurposeThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a significant influence on many aspects of life, including education. As a result, the education system in emerging nations such as Bangladesh needs a rapid transition from conventional to technology-based distance learning. This study looks at the current state of higher education and how well online courses that use technology work.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the 392 student records taken from several universities in Bangladesh.FindingsThis research showed that students are more likely to use a digital higher education system if faculty are willing, students are eager and the economy is stable. Students who have had a bad experience with digital learning should know that a virtual evaluation system is needed. The willingness of students to use technology also plays a significant role in whether or not the students will take online classes. The research shows that combining traditional classroom and online learning is the best way to create a long-term learning system.Originality/valueThe model suggested in this study has a big effect, and Bangladesh policymakers should consider this model when planning a new kind of technology-based education.

数字学习在高等教育中的兴起：新冠肺炎疫情的教训

目的2019冠状病毒病（新冠肺炎）对生活的许多方面都有重大影响，包括教育。因此，孟加拉国等新兴国家的教育系统需要从传统远程教育迅速过渡到基于技术的远程教育。这项研究着眼于高等教育的现状以及使用技术的在线课程的效果。设计/方法/方法本研究使用结构方程模型（SEM）分析了来自孟加拉国几所大学的392份学生记录。在数字学习方面有过糟糕经历的学生应该知道，需要一个虚拟评估系统。学生使用技术的意愿也对学生是否参加在线课程起着重要作用。研究表明，将传统课堂和在线学习相结合是创建长期学习系统的最佳方式。独创性/价值本研究中提出的模式有很大的影响，孟加拉国决策者在规划一种新的技术教育时应该考虑这种模式。
