This condition has led to changes to the existing learning method to willy-nilly switch from conventional classes to what is called distance learning. Distance learning is referred to as online learning as its implementation requires Internet media that accommodate lecturers to interact with students online. The success of implementing online learning contributes to the learner’s satisfaction within the process of teaching and learning. This study used three applications—Camtasia video creator, YouTube, and Google Classroom—to assess how learners perceive the synchronous and asynchronous learning they have received. This study used a hybrid technique, combining a Google Form online survey with qualitative analysis of the respondents' answers. 52 students from the English Literature Department's Intermediate English Grammar Class served as the research participants. The findings indicate that the majority of students react well to the adoption of asynchronous learning when those three programs are used. The flexibility of access and timing is the most important and beneficial benefit. The integration between those three applications in conducting asynchronous learning is expected to provide a new perspective on implementing technology in English language teaching.\u0000Keywords: English teaching, COVID-19 pandemic, asynchronous learning, Camtasia, YouTube, Google Classroom.","PeriodicalId":36811,"journal":{"name":"World Journal on Educational Technology: Current Issues","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90133253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We live intertwined with technology. As in every field, technology has also taken its place in the fields of education. In addition to the advantages of technology products that facilitate the life of university students academically, physically, psychologically and socially, they also have negative effects in terms of physical, psychological and sociological aspects. Especially due to the misuse of smartphones, mobile Internet and social media, university students experience many problems such as technology addiction, nomophobia, netlessphobia and problematic social media use. In terms of socialisation, it is seen that university students are more affected by the psychological factors brought by technology, as they use it extensively in their academic studies and access to information. For this purpose, this study aims to determine the views of university students on the psychological effects of technology. Within the scope of this general purpose, a study was conducted with 84 university freshmen. In order to reach the aim of the research, five open-ended questions developed by the researcher were asked. As a result of the research, it has been revealed that university students have problems because they do not use technology correctly. This situation disrupts social relationships and affects communication. The use of technological tools by students may cause social phobia, communication problems, academic success, emotional turmoil and physical harm to physical health.

In this study, it is aimed to determine the opinions of prospective teachers studying in the science department, who are important stakeholders of the learning–teaching process, about STEAM education, which attracts great attention in the world. It is a prerequisite for this study for them to have taken the STEAM application in their courses.
