Topic: Students' perceived effectiveness and preference of online lectures- Kosovo study case

Higher education institutions around the world closed their campuses due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and shifted to online learning platforms. This sudden shift away from the classrooms has posed many questions regarding the effectiveness of online learning. The questions are still being asked today as the adoption of online learning is to continue in the post-pandemic period. While several studies have looked at the students' attitudes towards online learning during the pandemic, less research has been done to understand students' perceptions of post-pandemic online learning. We examined Kosovo university students' expectations, by investigating the perceived effectiveness of online learning in students of two different study fields, Psychology, and the English language, with two groups of students at the UBT College where there is a hybrid studying method. This study revealed that English language students were more willing to continue their higher education through online platforms compared to Psychology students.
