| dc.description.abstract | The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a shift in education from face-to-face classes to online classes. However, students and teachers faced many challenges in utilizing new technologies for learning and teaching.This study examined student and instructor practices regarding the use of new media during the Covid-19 pandemic, particularly Zoom, Google meet, Telegram and email.This study was conducted using mixed methods. Participants were selected systematically and purposefully from four colleges of Addis Ababa University. Data collection was performed using a questionnaire and an in-depth interview. A majority of the sampled population (58% of the population) practices Zoom, Google meet telegram, and email by asking an experienced individual for advice. Based on the current study result, it is evident that students and instructors encounter many challenges when practicing new media in learning and teaching.These challenges included low network infrastructure, low ICT skills, and Unfamiliarity with new media technology. The study findings showed that 52% of respondents strongly agree that they are not satisfied with Zoom, Google Meet, telegram email learning, and teaching. | en_US |
