Exploring College Students’ Online Platform Learning in the Transportation Planning Course

抄録

In the COVID-19 era, many universities quickly adopted digital learning to overcome the health-related issues with physical Face to Face teaching, yet this switch presented challenges with achieving learning outcomes and ensuring teaching quality. The field of Transportation was heavily affected by these challenges. This paper explores students’ opinions of one online learning platform - TronClass platform - at the National Taiwan Ocean University in Taiwan. Research samples were undergraduate students who enrolled in the Transportation Planning course from September 2021 to January 2022. The questionnaire included 27 items with a five-point Likert scale and 40 valid questionnaires were collected. The Importance-Performance Analysis with four quadrants was used to analyse these 27 items. The results found that “Speed of response” and “Login identity verification” belong to Quadrant II and thus were considered very important but had a low satisfaction rating. Teaching improvement strategies are discussed based on the research findings.
