The aim of this study is to present a case study of an online, non-face-to-face class conducted as part of a liberal arts course, analyze learners’ opinions and responses, and explore important considerations for efficient online teaching. To this end, the study presents the progress of an English class by conducting a questionnaire and individual interviews with 93 students at the university. Learners’ opinions regarding this online class were divided into satisfaction with the online class, satisfaction with class progress, satisfaction with the use of Zoom in class, etc. Learners’ satisfaction with online classes was high. The reasons for this included fun, systematic composition, class quality, convenience and personalized learning, diverse topics, instructor’s efforts. Satisfaction with class progress was also high. The reasons for this included exchange of opinions and communication, proper distribution of class activities, and efficiency of learning. The reasons for students’ satisfaction with the use of Zoom in class were communication between students, instructor’s smooth and clear progress, and appropriateness of the small meeting activities. Instructors must be thoroughly prepared for online classes, which could become very common in the future. This study conveys important considerations for this potential reality. |
