Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 and the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution have significantly affected the nature of college education causing many changes to the way it is conducted. One of these changes is the expansion of online education. The purpose of this study was to analyze the difficulties experienced by learners due to the transition to rapidly expanding online education at domestic universities, and to seek ways to support their learning through this new online platform. Results of a questionnaire showed that learners experienced difficulties in their interactions with professors because of the rapid transition to online education without adequate preparation. It was determined that there were not enough opportunities for communication between learners and professors as a result of non-face-to-face online education, and that learners did not receive Q&A or feedback quickly enough. The study also examined ways to ways to improve the effectiveness of online learning. Students showed a high preference for items such as "appropriate guidance regarding announcements such as lecture schedules," "providing lecture notes as learning materials."
