Art : Art in which the subject matter has been simplified or distorted to the point that it may or may not be easily descended. Acrylic: Resin that, when mixed with water and pigment, forms an inorganic and quick drying medium. Acrylic paint therefore is a fast drying synthetic paint made from acrylic resin. Action Painting: The technique of dripping and splashing paint onto canvases stretched on the floor Aesthetic: Pertaining to the appreciation of the beautiful as opposed to the functional or utilitarian, and, by extention, to the appreciation of any form of art. Aesthetic value: The impact of a work of art on our senses, intellect, and emotions. Analogous colours:Pairs of colour such as yellow and orange, that are adjudscent to each other on the colour wheel. Acqatint : A print making process that includes etching and that permits broad areas of black and gray tones. Air brush: Atomizer operated by compressed air used for spraying on paint.

Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black

Educational life worldwide has been shaken by the closure of schools due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. The ripple effects have been felt in the way both teachers and students have adapted to the constraints imposed by the new online form of education. The present study focuses exclusively on the beneficiaries of the educational process and aims to find out their perceptions of face-to-face and e-learning and their desire to return, or not, to the traditional form of education. These perceptions are represented by 604 students of the Politehnica University of Timisoara, who were asked to respond anonymously to an 8-question questionnaire between December 2020 and February 2021. The results show the respondents’ levels of desire to return to school (especially of those who have only benefited from e-learning) and their degree of involvement during online classes. The results also specify the advantages and disadvantages of the two forms of education from a double perspective, namely that of first-year students (beneficiaries of e-learning exclusively), and of upper-year students (beneficiaries of both face-to-face and e-learning). The study points out key information about e-learning from the students’ perspectives, which should be considered to understand the ongoing changes of the educational process and to solve its specific problems, thus ensuring its sustainability.

The acceptance of social media video for knowledge acquisition, sharing and application: A com-parative study among YouTube users and TikTok Users’ for medical purposes

Received: July 16, 2020 E-learning is replacing the traditional classroom environment worldwide. Especially during the current Covid-19 outbreak, eLearning is a crucial source to continue educational activities. In this regard, this micro-level study aims to examine the teachers’ perceptions regarding online learning as a substitute for formal education. By using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the conceptual framework, the researchers selected a brief sample of n= 30 university-level instructors from Rawalpindi, Pakistan. Further to affirm the study hypotheses, the researchers also conducted multiple regression analyses. Findings revealed a positive relationship between technology acceptance and eLearning during Covid-19 in Pakistan. Overall, the respondents expressed a favorable opinion concerning eLearning acceptance during the lockdown situation and its impacts on students’ academic performance. However, due to weak infrastructure, the Education Ministry of Pakistan is also facing several challenges in implementingthe eLearning system. Also, access to eLearning and students’ indifferent attitude towards online learning are significant challenges. Thus the researchers recommend more studies to highlight teachers’ opinions regarding the significance of eLearning. Therefore, the current study will not only help the local government to introduce practical strategies but also motivate students to accept eLearning as an essential part of their educational journey.

COVID-19 &Elearning: Perceptions &Attitudes Of Teachers Towards E-Learning Acceptancein The Developing Countries

During the recent vast growth of digitalization, e-learning methods have become the most influential phenomenon at higher educational institutions. E-learning adoption has proved able to shift educational circumstances from the traditional face-to-face teaching environment to a flexible and sharable type of education. An online survey was conducted, consisting of 30 teachers and 342 students in one of the universities in the United Arab Emirates. The results show that teachers’ and students’ perceived technology self-efficacy (TSE), ease of use (PEOU), and usefulness (PU) are the main factors directly affecting the continuous intention to use technology. Instructors’ technological pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) and perceived organizational support (POS) positively affect the intention to use the technology, whereas students’ controlled motivation (CTRLM) has a greater influence on their intention to use the technology, due to the type of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation that they have and which they can develop throughout the process of learning. The findings support the given hypotheses. In addition, they provide empirical evidence of a relationship between perceived organizational support and perceived pedagogical content knowledge. In fact, they are considered the key factors that support the use of technology continuously.

The Continuous Intention to Use E-Learning, from Two Different Perspectives

The way in which the emotion of fear affects the technology adoption of students and teachers amid the COVID-19 pandemic is examined in this study. Mobile Learning (ML) has been used in the study as an educational social platform at both public and private higher-education institutes. The key hypotheses of this study are based on how COVID-19 has influenced the incorporation of mobile learning (ML) as the pandemic brings about an increase in different kinds of fear. The major kinds of fear that students and teachers/instructors are facing at this time include: fear because of complete lockdown, fear of experiencing education collapse and fear of having to give up social relationships. The proposed model was evaluated by developing a questionnaire survey which was distributed among 280 students at Zayed University, on the Abu Dhabi Campus, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with the purpose of collecting data from them. This study uses a new hybrid analysis approach that combines SEM and deep learning-based artificial neural networks (ANN). The importance-performance map analysis is also used in this study to determine the significance and performance of every factor. Both ANN and IPMA research showed that Attitude (ATD) are the most important predictor of intention to use mobile learning. According to the empirical findings, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, satisfaction, attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm played a strongly significant role justified the continuous Mobile Learning usage. It was found that perceived fear and expectation confirmation were significant factors in predicting intention to use mobile learning. Our study showed that the use of mobile learning (ML) in the field of education, amid the coronavirus pandemic, offered a potential outcome for teaching and learning; however, this impact may be reduced by the fear of losing friends, a stressful family environment and fear of future results in school. Therefore, during the pandemic, it is important to examine students appropriately so as to enable them to handle the situation emotionally. The proposed model has theoretically given enough details as to what influences the intention to use ML from the viewpoint of internet service variables on an individual basis. In practice, the findings would allow higher education decision formers and experts to decide which factors should be prioritized over others and plan their policies appropriately. This study examines the competence of the deep ANN model in deciding non-linear relationships among the variables in the theoretical model, methodologically.

Examining the Factors Influencing the Mobile Learning Usage During COVID-19 Pandemic: An Integrated SEM-ANN Method

Our experience with technology is a bitter-sweet one. We relish its presence in our lives, but we dread the effect it may have on our manners, attitudes and social interactions. We open the gates of our schools to all types of technological tools, yet we fear it may badly impact our students’ performance. This article investigates the ways through which classroom technology such as iPad, Internet connection, laptops and social media, impacts negatively on education. Relevant research has proven that technology could change education negatively through four paths: deteriorating students’ competences of reading and writing, dehumanizing educational environments, distorting social interactions between teachers and students and isolating individuals when using technology.
